Infrastructure will be even more overwhelmed, g.ps hospitals, schools,
Destruction of green belt, decimation of wildlife and trees. Probable Unthinkable damage to historic heritage,with extra traffic, subsidance flooding .
Urban sprawl and loss of village life surely there is plenty of grey belt and unused industrial sites we can build on first

Flooding on the A3400 is already an issue and can only become worse if land is full of concrete, Extra volume of vehicles as Local public transport is very poor, erosion to bridge at railway station could become worse with extra traffic.
The use of green belt for urban sprawl is criminal, woodland, trees,wildlife, will all be lost we need to preserve our countryside and heritage for future generations

With narrow roads going in and out of the village, it would be horrendous to experience the extra volume of traffic. There are no pavements in some places.
S-on-A gets very congested at school times. We cannot find an NHS dentist. I am having cancer treatment at the nearby hospital and there are already considerable delays between appointments. The infrastructure of the town could not cope with another 6,700 households. We have had massive developments nearby in the 5 years since we moved to Wilmcote. Our historic village, part of Shakespeare's heritage, would be no more. Hell on earth.

Additional rep via email 28/02/25:

I wish to strongly object to the proposed development of 6700 houses near to Wilmcote and Bearley!

Traffic in and around Stratford upon Avon is at times heavily congested, as it is a major tourist attraction. Part of the reason we moved here to Wilmcote in 2020. As retired people we restrict our travel into the town centre to weekdays as it is very bad at weekends. I can’t imagine what it would be like with all the new houses. Stratford upon Avon has had massive housing developments since we moved to Wilmcote. Have we not have more than our fair share? We do not have the infrastructure to cope with the extra traffic. Our local roads in Wilmcote are narrow and have limited parking, especially around the school. This development would be a huge detriment to the area.

I object for the following reasons:
The development sits in the GreenBelt, specifically designed to prevent urban sprawl and will significantly impact the openness of the GB & the settlement definition between Wilmcote, Bearley, Pathlow and Stratford, a key purpose of the GB.
The development plan indicates a ribbon development of the type the GB was designed to obviate.
The development will be dependent on the A3400 alone, severely impeding traffic between Stratford and Henley. Wootton, Henley and A46 connections will create bottlenecks.
Train users are more likely to use Stratford Parkway or Warwick adding to traffic volume.

Just a horrific idea to destroy a lovely small village by adding such a vast number of houses. It’s destroying perfectly good land, building on a floodplain (very important for the environment) which is just absolutely ludicrous and the surrounding infrastructure just isn’t capable of providing for more people, cars, and rubbish. Building on a floodplain is idiotic because if the houses aren’t all flooded then the surrounding area will be instead which will include all the roads, farmland and other peoples houses so that will cause a ridiculous amount of damage and hassle for everyone. Please don’t do it.

Transportation provisions are already insufficient in the area. Stratford upon Avon at peak times (weekday mornings, weekday lunchtimes, weekday evenings, weekends and school holidays) is already hard to access from the villages outside of Stratford town centre. Local businesses (especailly retail) already likely suffering.

Congestion is currently rife. Environmental pollutants therefore expected to be hightened with additional residents using inevitable car transportation.

Wildlife in Stratford's surrounding.villages is currently diverse (newts, owls, bats, deer) and can be expected to be endangered as the Greenbelt is lost.

Historic Shakespeare's Stratford, land between his birthplace and Mary Arden's House, would be lost. Sad

I believe a development if 6,800 homes around wilmcote is very ill advised. I work around Stratford and the traffic makes that very difficult. More cars will bring the area to a srand still and make getting around for work virtually impossible. I also strongly object to so many houses on the green belt. Trees have been planted to help create wildlife corridors. This development goes against all attempts to protect the land and the wildlife in this area. I cannot condone concreting over vast swathes of land. We would never get that environment back, it's nothing short of vandalism.

Building such a large proportion of housing will not only turn the village of Bearley into a built up town it will destroy the surrounding countryside. It will also have detrimental impacts on the surrounding villages, leading to increased traffic in areas already struggling. Many school children walk to school or bus stops in snitterfield and this would increase the risk to those as people use this as a cut through to the A46. Local amenities are already struggling with local nursery's having 2 year waiting lists. Village schools are already at capacity.

Apart from the obvious environmental issues and the fact that the development will cull our local wildlife, this development would create a huge traffic problem. Currently the A34 cannot cope with the relatively small amount of traffic from the area, one only needs to drive from Wilmcote to Stratford to experience this. There is always congestion! This could only be eliviated if a dual carriageway was built from the A34 Stratford roundabout to the M40 at Longbridge and also from the A34 roundabout to the M5 at Tewkesbury. Put simply this proposed development is just too far from a Motorway.

I strongly object to the proposed development . I was born in the local area lived in Aston Cantlow for 47 years and now reside in Wilmcote. The erosion of village life turning villages into expensive commuter housing. I have witnessed this happen and watch affordable properties vanish. Areas nearer transport links would be more suitable with local roads being unsuitable for further traffic. Historical properties in Wilmcote should be protected from mass development. Stratford has substantial areas still to develop therefore leaving valuable Green Belt to stay for agricultural use.

Whilst there are many reasons for the unsuitability of this site, the overwhelming reason is down to the fact the entire development falls within a Green Belt. By the Government’s own definition, the fundamental aim of Green Belt policy is to prevent urban sprawl, with essential characteristics of openness and permanence. It is therefore non-sensical to maintain the South Warwickshire Green Belt in accordance with that policy for ~50 years, including all the hard work and costs associated from government and citizens alike, only to abandon it abruptly for the sake of short-term political target hitting.

The SWLP proposal is unacceptable, going against the Environment Secretary’s statement that new homes do not encroach on food production or farmland.

The A3400 traffic is already chronic, Stratford being regularly gridlocked, run-off from fields regularly causes flooding, urban sprawl development would exacerbate this. There’s inadequate infrastructure, the railway station has no parking and very poor service.

Bearley, an ancient hamlet surrounded by green belt has conservation status, includes listed buildings and a SSSI. It should not be subsumed into an excessive development which will have disastrous consequences for the environment and wildlife - once it’s gone, it’s gone FOREVER.

Loss of tourist business - Mary Arden’s House is an historical Grade 1 listed building with unique charm. This would be lost if not in small village location. Shakespeare is the largest tourist attraction outside London;

My main concern is with the transport links related to this site. The current A roads are busy and contribute to congestion within Stratford Upon Avon. Traffic frequently diverts into smaller less suitable lanes such as Gospel Oak Lane. A development at the proposed site would significantly increase the road traffic volume to detrimental and unsustainable levels unless significant investment and changes were made to the A46 and A3400 and surrounding lanes was conducted in order for the Motorway (M40) to be accessible.

I don't agree with this proposed settlement:
- the local roads are already busy enough, for example, government survey shows excess of 9000 cars currently, adding homes would increase conjestion and lead to roads needing to be upgraded which is costly.
- currently a high risk flooding area identified by JBA Consulting.
- The BW development falls within the West Midland green belt and means the historic village of Wilmcote isn't preserved.
- There is a lack of local jobs in the local area, increasing housing would mean the demand for these jobs would increase.

Please be honest it is a new town, pure ribbon development and all those associated issues .
It is the wrong site for a new town ,it will increase in size to become part of Stratford Upon Avon and /or Henley in Arden.
The road and total infrastrucure cannot support it.Stratford Upon Avon would grind to a halt along with the A46/A3400 roundabout.

The new town , if that is what is needed , needs to be strategically placed for the longterm strategic development of Warwickshire.

The area is Shakespeare Country bordering on the forest of Arden area. The urban sprawl connecting two historic villages will destroy the area character of both villages and damage the international tourist location. The impact upon traffic using the A46 and A3400 will be devastating, causing congestion on travels between Stratford-upon-Avon and Henley-in-Arden. The simplistic planning decision based on potential land offerings and Railway access have seemed to offer an easy path for the planners, ignoring all other considerations. The sprawling nature of the proposal offers no indication of a sensible community centre with ribbon development and excessive residential overcrowding.

Increased traffic through Wilmcote passing both school and Mary Ardens Site. Proposed new schools will not be within walking distance and consequently only exacerbate the increase in traffic.
Water runoff from new development will aggravate an already badly drained area.
The A3400 cannot support the increase in traffic.
Wilmcote village will therefore become a throughfare for 6000 people trying to reach Stratford upon Avon and surrounding villages.
The train station cannot support the increase in travellers without massive refurbishment and parking facilities.

The proposed 6,700-house development on Green belt land is excessive, unsustainable, and harmful. It would permanently destroy valuable green space, wildlife habitats, and agricultural land, increasing flood risks and damaging biodiversity. Local infrastructure—roads, schools, healthcare—cannot support such large-scale growth, leading to congestion, overstretched services, and reduced quality of life. The development would erase rural identity, replacing it with urban sprawl. It contradicts sustainable planning, ignoring brownfield alternatives while worsening air pollution and carbon emissions. This project threatens both the environment and community well-being and should be rejected in favour of responsible, sustainable development that preserves countryside and resources.
