The proposed development will , in effect, merge the villages of Bearley, Wilmcote and Pathlow therefore this will not be a 'new' settlement.
The proposal will be building on some land which is best and most versdatile.
The settlement will harm the conservation areas and heritage village centres of both Wilmcote and Bearley due to inevitable urban sprawl

These are historical communities dating back to at least Shakespear's time which will be overwhelmed by new communities many times larger than they currently are. This will inevitably destroy these existing communities, replacing them with small towns. The infrastructure and delays in supporting facilities will mean the new communities are likely to be built and lived in well before they can be supported with the right facilities such as GP surgeries, shops, local transport, schools.

I OBJECT on the following grounds:
• this is unnecessary development on the green belt
• it will damage biodiversity, green spaces and wildlife habitats and break down wildlife corridors
• the local infrastructure cannot cope with the thousands of new vehicles these houses will bring
• local schools, medical facilities, utilities and water supply will not be able to cope and new facilities will not be available in time.
There is NO justification for a development of this scale in this location
forcing inappropriate expansion on rural villages. Development MUST be sustainable and respect the character of existing communities.

A big development would seriously undermine our green belt village centres.
The foundations of Wilmcote’s important cultural heritage site, Mary Arden’s Farm, could be destabilised by the increase in traffic.
There is difficulty accessing the A3400 from the Wilmcote junction now. More cars would make it almost impossible. Wilmcote is a rat run at busy times. Cars cutting between A46 and A3400, it causes problems on Church Road, and Station Road particularly where there is very little off-street parking.
Enormous pressure on local hospitals and GP’s. railway station has no parking. Floods
regularly in the fields south of Featherbed Lane.

The proposal for 6,800 new homes in Bearley would have significant negative impacts. It would destroy local Green Belt land, harm biodiversity/wildlife, and replace our beautiful & special countryside with urban sprawl. Increased flooding risks, loss of trees and wildlife, and reduced green space would also follow. Local roads & villages would face more traffic and congestion. The development would also increase air and noise pollution, strain local services like GP surgeries, schools and overload infrastructure like water and sewer systems. Ultimately, it would damage precious farmland and the countryside, and put unnecessary pressure on the local community.

The flooding risk to the local area and surrounding villages will be greatly increased, e.g. Aston Cantlow, Newnham. The infrastructure will not be able to cope with increased traffic levels, Stratford is already hard enough to get to and through. The new settlement will eventually join up/ribbon to Stratford and ruin the local villages and ruin the village history. Crime will most likely increase therefore needing further services such as policing. Warwick hospital is the closest A&E hospital which is already over run, this will increase further putting lives at risk.

Traffic is already terrible going north to Henley and south to Stratford, many more vehicles will bring this area to a standstill. Traffic will then cut through the local villages which are not equipped to take any extra vehicles. The trains are infrequent and unreliable.
Wildlife I have sighted in the proposed area include deer, muntjac, hares, bats and woodpeckers.
Flooding on and in the locale around the A3400 is a regular occurrence, with so much building and no land to soak up the water, where will the storm water go?

The Bearley plan creates ribbon development from Henley to almost Stratford. This tourist route would become an urban corridor rather than one visitors can enjoy for its beautiful scenery. The green belt provides a corridor for wildlife and I have observed herds of deer and other wildlife on the proposed site. The area along the A3400 also experiences regular flooding in winter months. The roads in the area are already notoriously crowded and this would be significantly worse. Facilities exist in Stratford so why not spread these houses on the edge of the town rather than building a new town.

Impact on the existing communities, effect on the wildlife

no improvements and consideration on impact on the area f the additional infrastructure required to increase in population up to 24,000 The land is marshy, low lying and subject to flooding

in and around Stratford , a number of disused brownfield sites should be developed first before Greenbelt development considered, councillors to manage these sites first, prior greenbelt development

Wilmcote resident 25 years, seen enormous amount of development and new housing in area. Understand we need development but we have had so much leaving infrastructure of roads etc unable to cope. Traffic jams, access to SOA town unacceptable without 6700 more homes added.
We have flooding. Village used as ‘rat run’ for cars trying to access Bham road from houses built on Ridgeway etc.
We are an important tourist destination but tourism will be killed as we are swallowed up into a ‘Settlement’ and become one large housing estate.

It will adversely affect the landscape, wildlife, nature, traffic issues, air, light and noise pollution. Be detrimental to existing infrastructure and the proposed area is clearly floodplain. Plus destroying the peaceful and restful nature of the area essential to the mental health of all. Green belt land was created to protect us, these developments are ugly and unsustainable creating ghettoes of people who care little for the countryside way of life and our environment. Traffic in the surrounding areas is already dangerous, quiet country lanes will become worse cut throughs to A46, M40 causing further danger to wildlife and humans.

* The proposed development creates an urban sprawl contra to Green Belt and conservation planning.

* It will irreparably undermine the village setting of the Mary Arden unique heritage site and risk damage from 1000% increase in local potential vehicle traffic.

* The only accessible strategic Road (A3400) is already subject to bottle necks north at Henley and south at the A46 Bishopton roundabout. upgrading of these bottle necks and the necessary duelling of the A3400 would cost prohibitive hundreds of millions of pounds which is not available from Government or in any meaningful size from private developers

· Safety on A3400 splitting proposed development (previous fatalities).
· Loss of green belt and surrounding Bearley destroys village rural nature, access to green spaces, wildlife corridors and biodiversity
· Railway station little used due to limited car parking (blind access), long walk from village, poor service (single line)
· Increased habitation needs increased Accident and Emergency capacity. (recent Warwick Hospital Emergency)
· Traffic to the M40 northbound access constricted in Henley In Arden
· Traffic into Stratford already congested
· Access to the M40 southbound via Snitterfield, - minor road into fast traffic

Increase in traffic volumes.
Picturesque area, green belt and protected conservation area lost.
Increased traffic would create more accidents the level of which is already high.
Flooding dramatically increased.
Increased noise and air pollution.
The development would create huge urban sprawl close to stratford which the council has always objected to and resisted strongly.
The biodiversity of the area would be totally destroyed.
The development would dramatically change Bearley and the surrounding communities, which stratford council has protected from overdevelopment for many many years, and should still be resisted to allow such a beautiful rural area to be maintained.

This site is green belt and being farmed. It has no good transport links except the railway station. Few journeys are made to and from the station. Reasons include:- 1. Not many trains go down this line each day and half of them do not stop. 2. With no parking near the station passengers have to walk from the village or, from the other direction, on the road. (Dangerously). 3. If going south it is easier and quicker to drive to Warwick Parkway and get on there. The result is most trains are nearly empty and run at a loss.

Totally inappropriate. A large area of green belt land that will create a settlement the size of Stratford approximately a mile from Stratford upon Avon. Bearley train station is single track and is not usable for commuting. Most local roads are small lanes and would not be able to cope with increased traffic. Would destroy local biodiversity and remove wildlife corridors. Makes far more sense to place development on the edge of existing large towns with proper facilities and travel links. Loss of protected hedgerows, woodland and meadows. Existing traffic issues and flooding would be made worse.

The proposed 6,800 new homes in Bearley would harm the local area in several ways: It would damage Green Belt land, disrupt biodiversity, and replace our beautiful countryside with urban development. There would be increased flooding risk, loss of trees and wildlife, and much higher traffic in surrounding villages. Local infrastructure like childcare, healthcare, roads are already overstretched, and pollution levels, including noise and air, would be expected to worsen. The project would permanently erase valuable farmland and natural l and picturesque spaces that we can never get back once it’s gone. No good can come of this for locals.
