1. Area along A3400 ( Bearley to Wilmcote ) regularly floods, housing will only make this worse.
2. Loss of much needed green belt.
3. Road infrastructure is inadequate with regular traffic queues into Stratford.
4. Wilmcote station wholly inadequate as no parking and railway and canal bridges are collapsing.
5. Increased traffic experienced already due to Bishopton Lane developments.
6. Wilmcote roads are not built for extra traffic i.e. by the school/church/station.
7. The importance of Mary Arden's Farm culturally being in a village location.
8. Local sewerage provision already inadequate and flowing into local rivers.

-Wilmcote existing village roads totally inadequate to cope with increased traffic
-Wilmcote School parking makes the road very difficult to pass with very little pedestrian pavement

Wilmcote is a small rural community. It would be completely swallowed up if this development goes ahead. Featherbed Lane is already busy with traffic. It would probably end up grid locked , and so would the Birmingham rd. There are long traffic jams trying to get in and out of stratford. Also Wilmcote has an important historic building, Mary Ardens Cottage, it would be ruined if tourist had to come through a large modern housing estate

Featherbed Lane-rat run through village already , so will be exacerbated by more congestion and dangerous especially at junction A3400
- railway will need to buy land for parking and bridge already seeing subsidence so more traffic a problem
-sewage system already a problem
-land floods and climate change likely to impact further
6000 + houses = massive infrastructure needed especially roads. New sewage plant and flooding problems to be overcome which must not impinge on nearby areas like Aston Cantlow. Costly!
Stratford is already grid locked and heritage being ruined so this ribbon development will exacerbate urban sprawl

1. Development should not be in the green belt, when there are sufficient sites elsewhere.
2. BW's proximity to Stratford and SG18 will prevent it being an independent settlement.
3. Extending BW to be part of SG18 and omitting the sites surrounding Bearley would provide the housing numbers without overloading the village of Bearley, which has no services or facilities.

Two attractive country villages Bearley/Wilmcote will be ruined by becoming suburbs of a large town - community will be lost. This is ribbon development with all its problems. Our local roads aren’t sufficient to carry the amount of traffic - the Birmingham Road is already gridlocked at peak times in and out of Stratford with the Featherbed Road traffic backing up towards Wilmcote. Lack of infrastructure/ services ie Gp’s / NHS dentists /A & E / Minor injuries department is a problem already in Stratford. House prices in Wilmcote and Bearley will plummet - we as residents will suffer.

Wilmcote and Bearley would merge as one huge settlement if this plan were to go ahead - destroying each village's unique identity, communities and rural dividing spaces. The proposed land is well known as flood land, predominantly clay on a sloped area with a rich bio diversity. At the bottom of the slope is the train line to Stratford-upon-Avon from Birmingham and beyond that is the canal, with a narrow, historic towpath. We walk this area regularly and it is always 'swampy' even in the summer months. Building houses in this space would be a big mistake.

Huge increase in traffic congestion and associated pollution. The road infrastructure around Stratford, the A46 and small villages which will become short cuts to the M40 and A46 would not cope with 6000 extra cars on the road.

Loss of natural habitat and biodiversity. Loss of greenbelt.

Loss of historic villages landscape which is part of why I chose to live here. This is greatly impact local residents negatively. I can see no benefits to local residents.

The proposed development would:
*Overwhelm the current drainage and utilities provision - flood risk.
*Overwhelm the single track current limited rail service and station car park/facilities.
*Result in vastly increased traffic activity on to the main A3400, greatly impacting journey times from other areas and route to and from Stratford.
*Greatly increase risks to pedestrians crossing the A3400, particularly school children.
*Currently Bearley has no shops/school/pre-school/pubs/medical centre/dentist/vet/laundrette. These would need to be provided.
*Impact on Green Belt and associated biodiversity/hedgerows/wildlife corridors, as well as loss of arable food production will be huge.
*Community recreational areas/cycle routes need to be provided.

Myself and my husband are opposed to the proposal to use the land in Wilmcote for housing. There are many factors which would deem it unsuitable. Being flooding, sewerage, destruction of green belt, the historic value of the area for tourism. People come from all over the World to see Shakespeare countryside NOT housing estates!! Wild life would be affected, the beautiful trees. Surely they are other areas that would be more suitable. We know progress has to be made but PLEASE let Wilmcote stay as it is.

The area suggested spans the area between Wilmcote and Bearley, taking in Pathlow as well. 6000 plus new homes would result in around 10000 vehicles on the roads around here, which are already busy during peak times. Also, the only two available railway stations (Bearley and Wilmcote) would be a considerable distance from most of the new houses, resulting in an increased number of cars trying to park close to the stations. There are no parking spaces available at either station. Other than a small village shop, there are also no facilities for new houses. All in all, it's untenable.

Desktop planning should be stopped. The Wilmcote plan will lead to urban sprawl and make the village a suburb of Stratford. It's NOT a stand alone development. Road/Rail infrastructure does not cope now with traffic. Fields & area already flood, once concreted over water run off will make this worse, drains in the area already don't cope & are old. Increased sewage will force overcapacity to discharge into a already polluted River Avon. Healthcare can't cope now. Wilmcote is an historic village with Mary Arden's Farm & many listed buildings pollution will impact these & area & ratrun traffic worse.

I strongly oppose the propsed development of 6700 house off the Birmingham Road in the Wilmcote/Pathlow/Bearley area. This will put pressure on our already struggling gp surgeries and hospitals. The road infrastructure cannot cope with the traffic as it is with roads always congested. There will be no small villages left in the area just one massive development losing the beautiful countryside this offers. Existing schools don't have money for repairs so how can money be found to build new ones. Stratford has already had more houses built than is needed.

The new town will engulf Wilmcote and Bearley increasing population by more than 20 times, ruining Wilmcote as an important historic tourist venue. The road infrastructure of Wilmcote cannot cope with the inevitable increase in traffic and it is impossible to widen/improve the roads running through the village. The A3400 cannot cope with extra traffic, the Bishopton Roundabout is already a disastrous bottleneck. Building on greenbelt farmland will considerably increase flood risk in the area. The 2007 floods closed the A3400 at Bearley and the Bishopton Roundabout because the farmland was saturated. Concreting over the land will cause environmental disaster.

Transport links are inadequate. All roads/rail line would need upgrading significantly. Road system wholly inadequate. Would need huge investment in adding train and bus services, they are minimal at the moment. Very limited car parking for station. Flooding occurs on A34 and at back of Grange Road, high biodiversity would be lost, scheme is 21 times larger than Bearley Village. Parts of village are conservation and all in greenbelt should not even be considered when many proposed sites are urban. Seems only being considered due to landowner happy to sell land.

I am most concerned at the overwhelming negative impact the proposals for huge increases in housing will have on the small market town of Henley in Arden. The infrastructure will be unable to cope with the massive increase in road traffic, schools, doctor' surgery etc will not be able to service a much larger community. Developers always promise to provide the infrastructure, but then fail to deliver and are allowed to walk away without fulfilling their commitments. Their sole motive is profit and there is no reason to believe that this development will be any better controlled
