SG12 - development around Southam. Southam has already expanded beyond its natural boundaries (including byond its bypass). The town is car-dependent with relatively poor public transport. Recent housing (on the north and south of the town) is some distance from the town centre and has limited services. Further housing areas would increase unsustainable development. Further housing will mean more traffic on the roads to/from the town with consequwences of delays and reduced road safety. SG12 should not be proceeded with. Small infill sites within the town can deliver social housing to meet local need.

SG13 Gaydon-LIghthorne Heath: this is a new settlement in the adopted Stratford Core Strategy. Development has been slow and will take years to complete to the size approved. GLH is not a sustainable location; it is dependent for access largely on the M40 through Junction 12, and the motorway's purpose is to carry national through traffic, not to provide for local journeys. The suggested locations including parts of the test-track (former airfield) would extend the settlement substantially while delivering no viable form of public transport. Gaydon - a conservation village - would lose its character. SG13 should not be included.

SG14 East of Gaydon: Thsi is across the M40 from Gaydon-LIghthorne Heath. GLH is a new settlement in the adopted Stratford Core Strategy. Development has been slow and will take years to complete to the size approved. GLH is not a sustainable location; it is dependent for access largely on the M40 through Junction 12, and the motorway's purpose is to carry national through traffic, not to provide for local journeys. The suggested location would extend GLH across the motorway and develop farmland and woodland, with no viable form of public transport. SG13 should not be included.

SG15 North of Wellesbourne: Wellesbourne has already expanded beyond its natural boundaries. What was a village has already grown beyond its natural extent. It is car-dependent with some but not much public transport. SG15 includes very large areas of countryside north of Wellesbourne on both sides of the A429. This would take much BMV agricultural land, against planning policy. It would generate large traffic flows on what is already a busy road, with consequences of delays and reduced road safety. SG15 should not be proceeded with. Small infill sites within Wellesbourne can deliver social housing to meet local need.

SG16 South of Wellesbourne: Wellesbourne has already expanded beyond its natural boundaries. What was a village has already grown beyond its natural extent. It is car-dependent with some but not much public transport. The two recent housing developments accessed off the A429 south of the original village are car-dependent and are beyond the bypass of the original village.
Development at Wellesbourne Airfield should be limited to existing sites where there are buildings. The actual airfield should not be reduced in size further.
Small infill sites within the older parts of Wellesbourne can deliver social housing to meet local need.

SG17 Shipston-on-Stour: Shipston is an an attractive town close to the Cotswold AONB. It has suffered new development to its west and at its southern entrance. SG17 would result in extensive development east of the Stour, destroying the setting of Shipston and the close-by hamlet of Barcheston, which has been carefully protected until now. The Stour itself is in a flood risk zone. SG17 would also extend the town up the slope to its southwest. The character of Shipston. set between hills to west and east, would be lost.

SG18 West of Stratford-upon-Avon: SG17 would extend the built-up area beyond the A46 Bypass, its natural limit, and beyond the Western Relief Road between A46 and B439 Bidford Road. A large part of SG18 is Green Belt. The part south of the A46 would result in Shottery, a historic village on the western edge of the town, being encircled by development. Developing this land would require extensive new provision of services and would lead to largely car-dependent housing.
The part of SG18 within the bypass would be suitable for housing; the P+R car park is too large for actual need.

SG19 east of Stratford-upon-Avon: The larger part of SG19 would extend the town to the south, beyond the eastern extension of the Southern Relief Road, which should stay its boundary. That would result in housing in the Orchard Hill Farm area, too far from the town centre to be walk- or cycle-able. Some limited development north of the A422 Banbury Road may be possible without harming the character and setting of Stratford, though not on the scale shown for SG19.

SG20 Bidford-on-Avon: Bidford has suffered from loalised sprawl northwards for several decades. There has not been a coherent plan that sets limits to the village's expansion; in each Local Plan more housing is added. SG20 would perpetuate this pattern. It would also add housing areas to the east of Bidford, extending almost as far as the conservation village of Ardens Grafton to the NE. Bidford is not a sustainable location for major development, with one bus service (Stratford-Evesham).
Small sites on the north and west of Bidford to meet local need and provide social rented housing should be included.

SG21 Alcester: The suggested development location is in the Green Belt and lies west of the A435 Alcester Bypass. It is attractive landcape and productive farmland and provides part of the setting to the historic town.. The bypass is a clear and effective western limit to the town. Alcester is not served by rail and is largely car-dependent. Access to SG21 would appear to be from the A44 which runs through the village of Arrow, the estate village of historic Ragley Hall. The traffic generated by development of SG21 would be damaging to that locality. SG21 should not be pursued.
