No plan for additional road infrastructure so A3400 even more clogged. Building area to west of A3400 easily floods. Ribbon development links Stratford out to Bearley - no green spaces gaps. Loss of wildlife habitat and encroaches on SSI. Flawed reasoning for location - Bearley railway station is single line, 2 carriage platform with minimal stopping trains. Lessons from Long Marston (build houses without adequate infrastructure) not learnt. Local smaller roads through Snitterfield and surrounding villages swamped as short cuts to A46. Scale of development causes air, noise and light pollution which degrades the quality of life for all residents.

The A3400 is already busy enough it's so hard to get across to the train station and dangerous when I have my 4 ASD and ADHD children with me we often use the train as Stratford traffic is so bad. This development would make it so much worse. There is so much flooding between here and wilmcote that a new development would put a strain on the already inadequate infrastructure. To add to this I am already waiting 7 weeks for a GP appointment and adding more people into an already stretched system will cripple the Local NHS trusts.

The village of Snitterfield is already a “rat-run” for traffic travelling to Bearley and cutting through to the Birmingham Road.
The pavement through the village is narrow and partly deficient with both a primary school and nursery off the main road. The Increased traffic associated with the proposed massive development will put pedestrians including children at risk. In fact, it would already be preferable to enforce a vehicle weight restriction through the village in an attempt to reduce the traffic.

Wilmcote and surrounding villages and roads are already affected by flooding during rainy periods that are increasing in frequency. Building over the proposed vast greenfield site at Bearley Wilmcote will direct huge quantities of water run-off towards the Wilmcote railway line and will impact flood situations in nearby villages and Straford on Avon. The culverts are not big enough to cater for this under the railway line and you cannot alter the topography of the land.

The land has a railway line to the western boundary this will provide a safety issue without proper crossing point to address any increased foot traffic. Two ariel footbridges and demarcation security fencing would be needed to be installed to protect the site.

Building a small town in the BW location will effectively create a ribbon development/urban sprawl from Bearley, joining on to Stratford upon Avon. This will devastate the historical and culturally significant village of Wilmcote and its connection to Shakespeare as the home of Mary Arden. Tourists will not want to visit an area dominated by a densely populated housing estate and this important British historical asset will be destroyed. The charm of visiting Mary Arden's house and Farm is the tranquil, rural setting and we need to preserve this for future generations from around the world to enjoy.

The local waste water treatment facility situated in the north west corner of the site would have to substantially upgraded to cater for the number of houses proposed for the site. Due to the topography of the development site the waste water net work system could not be designed sufficiently or economically to accommodate the number of houses and overflowing would be a certain possibility. The Waste waster facility outfall would have to be increased and this would be severely hampered by the location of the railway line.

The Bearley/Wilmcote site is not suitable for any development due to the topography of the ground, heavy clay soil and the location of the railway line to the Western boundary. Any heavy rain this site and the surrounding area suffers badly from surface flooding. The ditch network is only designed for agricultural drainage and any upgrade for development is not viable as the outfalls under the railway line could not be increased without significant disruption and non recoverable cost. be spent. Any SUDs are also not viable due the heavy clay soils overlying a base of Wilmcote stone.

People moving to the proposed site will want to enjoy the amenities of desirable Stratford upon Avon. They will be driving in as getting the train option will also involve driving, and parking at Wilmcote station (where would a car park be sited anyway with the flooding problems?). Presently, it can take 30 mins during peak times to drive from the Wilmcote Featherbed Lane junction with the A3400 to Stratford centre(3 miles). There are fourteen roundabouts/traffic lights/pedestrian lights to get through now... the addition of this housing development will create one huge traffic queue and misery for everyone.

Not to mention the undeniable benefits to the mental wellbeing of it's residents who chose this area because of the calming environment and natural conditions it provides.
Development would cause irreparable and irreversible damage including increased flooding, a catastrophic increase in traffic, leading to pollution and risk to life for residents and wildlife that currently thrives here.

From the developments south of Leamington I’ve seen.

- unsustainable traffic. Town is regularly at a standstill (Stratford the same). Only 2 years later are the council attempting to do something about that.
- schools not ready in time so other local schools having to accommodate far too many kids.

These will almost certainly occur here, road network is not linked to house planning, Leamington council told me that.

Also it’s a tragedy to drive additional traffic, noise and air pollution through rural communities. This is totally unnecessary on green belt land.

To further develop green belt land is completely unnecessary and damaging and would create increased flood risk, traffic, pollution and biodiversity. Wildlife habitats would be destroyed, replacing our necessary and beneficial countryside with more urban development. We enjoy bats, many variety of birds, deer, bees to name but a few. This would put increased pressure on schools, doctors, hospitals, the already struggling road system. The unthinkable loss of protected trees, woodland and meadows which to be surrounded by really improves peoples mental health. A town with the very busy A34 running through it would be dangerous for children.

I am horrified by the plans to swamp our local countryside and roads with at least an additional 6800 cars (if not twice as many) and houses. This is totally out of keeping with the scale of the adjacent small historical rural villages. The unique world famous character of the area will be lost forever.
Stratford already gridlocks at weekends and cannot take any more traffic. It's already almost impossible to get school places or a doctor's appointment.
This area cannot support a development of this scale and the devastation of the local environment is completely unacceptable.

Transportation constraints alone should exclude this location. +6700 homes means ~10K new jobs (hopefully) with many commuting using the road network. Costly new capacity possible to Stratford but many will go north towards Birmingham where Henley is a choke point today (high school, Claverdon Road junction and town center). Rat runs in surrounding villages will be unsustainable/unsafe. Rail stations on a spur line with no through trains and low capacity - not useful. Detrimental impact to Mary Arden Farm and Shakespeare Trust is in direct conflict with Visitor Economy growth objective. Scraps 50 years of hard fought Green Belt achievements.

I chose to live in Bearley surrounded by beautiful countryside where I can enjoy walks along many public footpaths seeing green fields wildlife and agriculture. The Green Belt should be protected not destroyed by urban sprawl, not everyone wants to live on large overcrowded housing estates.

The transport infrastructure will not cope with thousands more vehicles on already congested roads in and around Stratford-upon-Avon, ‘rat-runs’ through villages and grid lock in Stratford.

Our health care services already under strain will be pushed to the limit with increased demand.

I object to the Bearley/Wilmcote new settlement.

Part of the site is adjacent to Bearley Waste/Bushes (BWB), an area of Special Scientific Interest. BWB would be a boundary edge to gardens, roads or pathways on the development. There would be long-term impacts on BWB but mostly importantly in the short-term during construction. The site is home to Muntjac deer, pheasants, badgers, green and spotted woodpeckers, rabbits and other fauna.

The area has highways issues. Bearley has narrow lanes and roads, many without footpaths. The Snitterfield Road has regular farm, forcing other vehicles to pull in or back up. The entrance to Church Lane has poor visibility. There are no footpaths on the north side of Snitterfield Road, 100m to the west, and many miles to the east. Footpaths on the southern side are narrow with no evidence they could be widened. Access to the area adjacent to BWB is unsafe.

Bearley is recorded in the Doomsday Book. There are thirteen Grade 2 listed buildings. The Conservation area would be hugely impacted by the development which would have to be accessed via Church Lane. If footpaths were provided they would be adjacent to Grade 2 Scroobys or require its demolition.

Building this housing estate would bring significant environmental and social harm. It would exacerbate flooding issues and destroy vital green spaces that provide crucial habitats for wildlife. The already stretched local infrastructure, such as doctors, water supply, and emergency services, would be overwhelmed. Increased traffic would lead to more accidents and higher air pollution, diminishing the quality of life for those in the area. We chose to live in the countryside for its peace and natural beauty which this development threatens to ruin. There is no justification for such a large-scale project when sustainable development should be the priority.
