I understand and accept the need for additional housing capacity in the Stratford upon Avon area. I am not against the proposed development area, but my concerns are around the provision of infrastructure as most is at its limit in this area, specifically transport (A46 needs to be dual carriageway to M40 and need developer funded rail shuttle to Stratford to ease road traffic), medical, education and small commercial. All of this infrastructureust have high levels of developer funding and be build prior to housing if the proposal is to stand any chance of gaining local support.

This area is a high quality farmland area within a small village community. The proposed new settlement is 20 larger than the village. The infrastructure of local roads cannot sustain more houses. The land has no sewage system on Featherbed Lane and is prone to flooding. Building a new settlement would raise the water table elsewhere so that all the existing houses could get flooded. This is an historic village within The Shakespeare Trust. Excess traffic is a problem now, with many cars using the area to cut round Stratford and avoid the A46 from the West.

Huge concerns re infrastructure. A46 is already a fast and dangerous road. Old Birmingham road would become more dangerous for school children. The more we pave over fields the more flooding will happen. We have enough problems with traffic from the current new builds in Stratford-upon-Avon I can only imagine how much worse it will get. Traffic is already gridlocked into Stratford during school times and travelling to and from work.

The schooling in the area cannot sustain more houses, even if a school is built on the site. The light pollution in a green belt area would be unsustainable for the wildlife. The herds of deer across the land would also be unable to live.

Most local people like to travel by car. Trains going through Wilmcote Station have very few passengers .Roads around this site are nearly at full capacity. Featherbed Lane has a queue to join the Birmingham Road (in both directions), every day, some days more than a quarter of a mile long. This development would require massive infrastructure work, but even so The Birmingham Road is likely to be snarned up for part of every day; this is because it ought to be a dual carriageway to carry the forecast traffic volume, but cannot be because of the Bearley railway bridge.

The proposed site at Wilmcote is unsuitable for the following reasons.
The road infrastructure is completely inadequate for this size of development particularly the connection to the A46 and the bridges in Featherbed Lane would need structural improvement.
The Wilmcote site contains Mary Arden’s Farm which is of national/international cultural significance. Developing an adjacent housing estate ruining the natural habitat and vista would be cultural vandalism.
The congestion caused would significantly impact on air quality and pollute the surrounding area.

There are multiple reasons that thus proposal should be rejected. The roads are unsafe already with many collisions and fatalities over years, adding to this is dangerous. The area floods constantly and sewerage system cannot cope now. Wildlife has just started yo flourish and personally need this to remain for my mental health. I rely on being able to get to nature. There are better locations and would not benefit village or local people

This site is in green belt and is agricultural land. Many of the residents at this site already rely on cars and an increase in houses in this area will hugely adversely affect both the local environment, air quality and traffic problems. There is already poor drainage in these fields and adding more tarmac and housing is completely inappropriate.

This area is more suitable for a new settlement as it is close to the urbanisation of Stratford Upon Avon and will have access to facilities to support families in the area , ie schools and medical care. A new settlement here would have less impact on the openness of the green belt.

A concerning situation arises when new developments are planned for Greenland without addressing the abandoned buildings first. It's troubling that private landowners aren’t allowed to build even one house, yet 6,800 new homes are permitted. Each year, more houses are being flooded in Stratford, and we are left wondering: where will we grow food? What about the traffic, especially with the addition of more hotels? This raises serious questions about the sustainability of such development.

Building a large settlement next to wilmcote will destroy the village and reasons to live here. We moved here from a big town and would not look to buy near the village if this settlement was agreed. Short term and long term noise pollution, destroying the village style atmosphere, destroying local countryside and rural walks, light pollution ruining the night sky views are just a few things to mention. We are the typical “first time buyer new build” customer and we would hate this type of new build estate next to our village.

The amount of development being proposed will fundamentally change the character of stratford which is a historic town. Building this many houses will put further pressure on the roads, infrastructure and environmental impact , schools and gp facilities where getting appointments is already difficult. This will put a huge amount t of pressure on Birmingham road into Stratford which is already struggling with the volume of traffic. The historic building of new estates has provided zero additional facilities or infrastructure. The approach is destroying communities and building x20 more homes than those that exist will devastate existing communities

I oppose the proposed development on the grounds of
1. A3400 at capacity and not possible to widen from Bearley to Henley creating bottle neck and pushing traffic onto minor village roads
2. A3400 junction at Salters Lane already dangerous
3. Significant surface flooding on Salters Lane and A3400 at Bearley Cross would be made much worse
4. Currently commute children to school and to work via bicycle crossing A3400 which will be dangerous and volume on small roads will make this unsafe
5. Loss of biodiversity - we regularly see woodpeckers,
Buzzards, and evidence of badgers on our land

I vehemently oppose this plan. Building of a settlement on land at Bearley/Wilmcote is a direct expansion of Stratford- a ribbon development leading to the merging of villages (B/W) into what will become an urban sprawl. Two South Warwickshire villages will loose their sense of community. Transport links - road and rail will not have capacity. Undoubtedly Wilmcote will be used as a 'cut through' via Featherbed Lane - Ridgeway - Alcester Road. Our village roads will not be able to safely sustain such traffic; specifically Church Road by the primary school. Light and noise pollution created will be unacceptable.

Transport - the village of Wilmcote has around 400 residents. The proposed BW plan of 6700 houses would increase the population by around 15,000 people plus. This would, in turn, increase the traffic by 10,000 cars. The site is meant to be self sustaining. Wilmcote station has no parking with trains about twice an hour. The bus on the A3400 goes once an hour in each direction, north and south. So no public transport could be used. This would become a ribbon development merging into Stratford, with traffic jams in all directions. Featherbed Lane is very dangerous to walk down.

I strongly object to the inclusion of the BW (Bearley & Welcome) site within the plan.
The site is wholly within the Green Belt, which should protect it from development other than for very limited conditions. The imposition of 6,800 new houses would completely alter the character of this rural, agricultural landscape.
The area has inadequate infrastructure: schools, public transport, GP surgeries and shops.
The A3400, which divides the proposed site, is a busy main road and would result in a significant road safety risk to residents would need to cross it to get to and from school and facilities.

1.Additional housing will cause problems for a sustainable drainage system. After heavy rain there is already flooding on the A3400 at the A46 roundabout and at Bearley station. New housing will considerably increase rainwater run-off and sewerage.

2.Current transport infrastructure will need to be improved, particularly an upgrade to the Bearley rail link to Leamington and parking facilities at Wilmcote station.

3.Wilmcote is currently a historic village in greenbelt land with a Shakespeare tourist connection. This environment will be ruined if the area is joined to the Stratford ribbon development and becomes just another part of "greater Stratford".

6800 new homes, average of 3 people per house = 20,400 people, 13,600 cars (2 per household). Stratford is already at 30,495! Loss of farmland, destruction of the greenbelt, impact on protected trees, woods, animals, freedom of movement by animals.
Bearley already floods, how would this be addressed? Birmingham road is already a nightmare to navigate, additional cars would make it impossible to get into Stratford. Schools, GPs, Hospitals, Police, fire, lesiure facilities - a struggling infrastructure won't stand a chance. Crime would increase, I worry for my children's future here in Bearley.

I strongly object to the proposal in the local plan to build 6,800 houses in the Bearley & Wilmcote area.
The area is in the Green Belt which should be protected, especially as it is agricultural land.
There is already inadequate infrastructure and this proposal will add to the lack of schools, health facilities, local shops and public transport to the local towns.
The very busy A3400 will cut through the site and divide the community. The increase in traffic through the local villages is of great concern where large volumes of speeding traffic is already dangerous to the locals

• Decimation of the character of the area
• Irreversible negative impact on local flora & fauna
• Unprecedented abuse of Green Belt land
• Inadequate infrastructure. Local 'country roads' would be used to access the A46/M40 causing major congestion, degradation of local villages and an increase in potential accidents/road-related injuries, deaths.
• Adding circa 15K vehicles will adversely Impact local roads. The system would not be able to cope with such additional capacity.
• Increased risk of danger/injury to school children accessing multiple schools in the vicinity

Wilmcote is not the right place for such a large development. Destruction of green belt land, loss of agricultural land, destruction of wildlife habitats. The local road network is already struggling to cope, Birmingham Road and the road to Henley are very busy. Our villages will be swallowed up and become a new town or suburb of SUA which we don't want. If this goes ahead, what's then to stop further building along the Ridgeway. This development will ruin our lovely village.

I strongly object to the proposed large housing development in Bearley. The village is a small rural community surrounded by open countryside, which would be irreversibly damaged by such expansion. Bearley lacks the infrastructure to support large-scale growth, putting pressure on roads, schools, and healthcare. Increased car dependency would worsen congestion and emissions, contradicting sustainability goals. This development threatens the character of the village and the surrounding countryside. Growth should be directed to areas with the infrastructure to support it, not rural communities like Bearley.

I urge you to reconsider this proposal.
