Who can afford to "go out" anymore? As more and more immigrants are forced on us due to failure of government, all money will be required to fund them. Arts and culture as we knew it will not be sustainable anymore.

I think this draft does not go far enough. Artistic expression and cultural identity are the product of, and help define, communities. If we want happy and healthy communities then we must allow for arts and culture to be included in shaping sections of the local plan such as planning, tourism, employment and investment. Arts and culture provision must reach beyond established providers and stakeholders, and engage laterally across societies and communities to engage the professional with the amateur, the commercial with the voluntary, the public with the private, the young with the old and the advantaged with the disadvantaged.

While promoting the vitality of town centres, it is crucial to ensure that the development of retail, leisure, and residential spaces is accompanied by adequate infrastructure to support increased activity. Encouraging people to stay longer in town requires improved accessibility, sufficient parking, and secure bike storage to capitalise on new bike infrastructure and incentives for greener transport. Without these provisions, increased footfall may lead to congestion and frustration. The town centres must adapt to emerging trends, but this must be done in a way that enhances accessibility and promotes sustainable transport choices to support their long-term vitality.

To develop a new town that would engulf the historically significant village of Wilmcote that brings tourism from across the world would go against this draft policy. The beauty and rural character of this area that draws visitors from far and wide would be be destroyed forever and the Stratford on avon cultural and tourist facilities therefore diminished.

BFI is the UK’s lead organisation for film and the moving image.
BFI’s storage facility at Lighthorne forms an integral part of the BFI’s National Archive. The facility is a nationally significant cultural asset in South Warwickshire.
BFI is seeking to work with the local authorities in seeking to expand its operations at this long-established brownfield site, in order to preserve and enhance the National Archive, in the national and local interests.
BFI thus supports Draft Policy Direction 21.
This approach is supported by NPPF para 86 (a) and Footnote 43.

The proposed large development of over 6500 houses at Bearley and Wilmcote would have a damaging effect on the Warwickshire countryside next to Shakespeare’s Mary Ardens House and Farm, having a detrimental impact on this celebrated tourist attraction.

Shakespeare’s Mary Ardens House and Farm and surrounding farmland, are an important part of Stratford tourism and heritage which should be valued and preserved at all costs for future generations to enjoy.

The BW strategic growth proposal would have a significant adverse impact on Mary Arden’s farm, part of the Shakespeare Trust. The additional traffic during construction phase and as a result of the proposed 800% increase in housing in the area would cause significant detriment to the building and its surrounding infrastructure. The increased traffic congestion in the area would also make this unattractive for tourists. The lack of parking facilities for any public transport (trains) also make it more likely that illegal and inconsiderate parking along station lane could also increase the risk of RTCs, again further decreasing tourist attractiveness.
