The major new developments in Shipston on Stour line the Campden Road. All of these were granted planning permission in the uncontrolled period prior to the Core Strategy being approved (or even existing). As a result, this part of South Warwickshire was not designed; it just happened, regardless of any consideration for natural beauty. Development cannot be allowed to be led by rapacious developers in the future. Development must no be allowed where it would impact the Vision and Strategic Objectives. Above all, it must not be planned or considered in areas where little or no improvement in infrastructure have been addressed. Conditions must be set that ensure infrastructure is in place prior to development, nor an unaddressed after-thought. The Special Landscape Areas of The Feldons and the Cotswold ANOB which meet in Shipston on Stour must be preserved as they represent the future prosperity of this community. There is every sign from the HEDNA/Sustainability Appraisal that no lessons have been learnt and misguided assumptions based on erroneous reports and data continues. Fundamental change is needed to the HEDNA/Sustainability Appraisal to embrace local knowledge.
