Bearley is a lovely small village, the land surrounding it is beautiful and to build over it would be damaging in so many ways.

Greenbelt, Wildlife, trees, plants of all kinds will be damaged(GONE), existing houses will be impacted by noise/air pollution and privacy lost as new houses will surround the existing tiny village.

Traffic will be overflowing as we have no local jobs, schools, doctors etc, meaning more impact on health services as pollution will only get worse.

Bearley is a village, by adding 6,800 houses here we will no longer be a village and this takes away originality.

The local infrastructure could not cope with a development on that scale, there are no local jobs so nearly everyone living there would need to use cars to travel to work, school, college, hospital, doctors, shops etc. This would lead to traffic chaos on local roads, higher emissions causing air quality to suffer. Local bus & train services are very limited only running to & from Stratford to Birmingham Central. School places are extremely limited in Bearley & Wilmcote, GP facilities are extremely limited in the local area. It is generally a terrible idea.

Proposed development is not inline with local village plan, increased traffic will affect nearby villages, especially Snitterfield and wilmcote with commuters heading for A46 and A34. Biodiversity of the area will be lost forever. Doctors, dentist, hospitals, schools are already way past limits. The train station will not be used by the majority of residents the development should not use the train station as an excuse to build. There are insufficient jobs in the area, in the future working from home will not be fashionable. I strongly object to this development here or anywhere else. Please consider brownfield sites.

The road infrastructure around Stratford Upon Avon cannot take more traffic. Hospitals inc a&E are struggling, no beds available and waits of 8 hours and no ambulances available. Drs apts are not available and I cannot get an NHS dentist. There is regular flooding to Birmingham road. Beautiful green spaces around the villages (Shakespeares home) will be spoiled and nature of small villages ruined. Risk to wildlife, Inc numbers of red kites which had fallen. We see red kites, bats, deer, barn owls here in Bearley. People here take daily walks because of the green spaces, essential for good health.

Such a huge increase in houses will completely change the character of Bearley, a small village, and have an adverse effect on residens enjoyment of it. The traffic increase will increase noise and air pollution. The development of green belt is totally unnecessary, destroying our biodiversity, and the protected trees, woodland.

Of all the sites put forward this is the least impactful on the local area, and provides the greatest potential benefit to new residents. The train station is in place and can support a much greater service than currently stops there, and access is good to birmingham and stratford for employment.

The settlement (as an expansion of Bearley and Wilmcote) doesn't "join" the villages to another larger settlement (e.g. stratford or leamington/Warwick) and as a result will have an identity of its own.

Proposed number of homes is excessive on existing green belt and would substantially alter the character of our historically significant village by turning into a large town. Wilmcote is a small village with a historical link to Shakespeare and part of the local tourist attractions. The proposal would fundamentally and negatively alter the look and appeal of this important Shakespearean village. The local transport networks (A46/A3400) would not cope with significant extra traffic. Rail networks are insufficient to cope with additional residents (Wilmcote /Bearly stations have little parking capacity). Proposed expansion and consequential overcrowding means long term misery for residents.

Impact on Green Belt & Countryside
This is a rural area with significant green spaces. Any development will encroach on the Green Belt, leading to loss of wildlife habitats & agricultural land. Loss of greenfield sites will harm local wildlife, biodiversity & ancient woodland.

Strain on Local Infrastructure & Services
Increased population will put pressure on already stretched services such as GP surgeries, hospitals, & schools. Road networks wont be able to cope with additional traffic.

Traffic & Transport Issues
More cars increasing congestion on local roads. Public transport options are limited, meaning residents will rely on cars, worsening pollution.

Bearley and wilmcote are small villages, there is not the road infrastructure to support such plans. It would greatly increase traffic on an already busy road leading into Stratford upon Avon where there traffic is also blocked and backed up a lot.

The building of this many houses will also greatly Impact the Character and Landscape of these areas.

I object strongly to this plan.
This large a development will have profound negative impacts on the local area:
It will spoil the historic, rural nature of Wilmcote that tourists come globally to visit.
Important green belt and agricultural land will be lost forever, with great harm to the local environment.
Clear distinction between the area's settlements will be lost.
It will further strain local road and sewage systems that are already struggling to cope.
There have already been many developments in the area without sufficient increases in infrastructure and public amenities to accommodate them.

I have watched my mother work hard to move us from estate living to our beautiful village of Wilmcote. The plan would encroach on green belt, leading to irreversible urban sprawl, where is the technical justification demonstrating that there are no other more sustainable locations? Wilmcote is of historical significance, due to its connection with William Shakespeare plus increased vibrations/pollution impacting a heritage asset - Mary Arden's Farm and many listed houses in the village. A desktop design does not take into account the narrow already gridlocked roads. Villages are already ratruns. drainage & sewage are already at/over capacity.

The proposed development on land near Bearley is inappropriate because:
- the development would result in a huge isolated pocket of sprawl non-contiguous with Stratford
- isolation requires people moving infrastructure as all the usable facilities are in Stratford (shops, schools, leisure, medical)
- the existing rail links, stations, capacity are not suitable for volume transit
The factors above mean more cars on the A3400 and Birmingham Road into Stratford which already frequently grid-locks demonstrating it is currently inadequate for the existing traffic volumes. This development would make it worse and that's not including years of construction disruption.

I am against this development due to:
this being a green belt area with no supporting facilities for the huge number of properties
the current road structure cannot cope with the large number of vehicles that already use this area.
Bearley does not have a train station. There is a stop on the single track system that comes through Bearley but there is no car park, the platform is short and would not cope with any longer trains. There has been no mention that this 'halt' would be developed to cope with the anticipated increase in the number of passengers.

I do not agree . We are already challenged locally with infrastructure . Schools , hospitals , drs , traffic. The waiting times in A&E are 10 hours plus , how can we support thousands more people . How will you propose to counter increased flooding , we already have this so how will this work building on the land ? How can you support the destruction to our green countryside and wildlife.

I feel extremely strongly that the development of Land at Wilmcote and Bearley is a very bad idea in the wrong place. This is not an urban area. This is truly wonderful Warwickshire countryside. The fabric of this area, including roads and canal is very fragile. We are told constantly how important peaceful and tranquil places are for our mental health. Villagers and visitors are here because it is precisely that! Please make sure it stays that way. Once this countryside is gone we will never get it back.

Widening the lane is not possible & construction traffic would not be able to travel up and down. The lane is a single track not designed for volume of traffic.

Far too many houses for the area to cope with at great detrimental cost to the the countryside. The green belt is supposed to protect us against this but large amounts of money can apparently move it. The traffic is already a problem and will be even worse. The amount of houses should be 10% of what is proposed. It is absurd the amount of houses they want to build.

1. Sheer quantity of houses will engulf villages.
2. The small gap between Stratford and development would soon be infilled and they would become one.
3. Birmingham Road won't be able to cope. It's a huge problem now even before new houses currently being built are
occupied. The small changes to the road now being made and those planned will make no difference when you add a
vast development. People want to get to the Maybird. Bypasses won't help.
4. Traffic jams will put off tourists, the town needs them to thrive,

The road network surrounding the area is not suitable for the current volume of traffic, let alone another 6700 + vehicles, the main roads are already heavily congested pushing more people to use the surrounding lanes and back roads which frequently flood and become impassable they are covered with crumbling tarmac and potholes. The train station is tiny with a poor train service with absolutely no parking, no room to expand due to the historical Mary Arden’s house and the canal. The building of the new town will have a detrimental impact on the historic village and Mary Arden house.
