Representation ID: 96531
Received: 05/03/2025
Respondent: Shipston Town Council
The list road improvements for Stratford-upon-Avon District includes Portabello Crossroads, Shipston-on-Stour (A429/B4035). This junction was signalised several years ago so what further works are planned? If none, then this junction needs removing from the list. This example also raises a question regarding the currency/accuracy of the IDP Part 1 and its supporting evidence documents.

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 5- Infrastructure Requirements and Delivery?
Representation ID: 96532
Received: 05/03/2025
Respondent: Shipston Town Council
Where there are a number of smaller separate developments within/surrounding a settlement these must not be assessed individually for S106/S278/CIL monies as has been done historically but must be taken together so that the cumulative impact can be mitigated in a worthwhile and meaningful manner. Furthermore, the impact of new developments must take into account the deficiencies in existing infrastructure. The assessment of strategic infrastructure requirements must not be limited to new settlements. Existing settlements also need infrastructure improvements

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 4- Accommodating Growth Needs Arising from Outside South Warwickshire?
Representation ID: 96533
Received: 05/03/2025
Respondent: Shipston Town Council
The SWLP must ensure that any development to serve the needs outside South Warwickshire must have good transport links to those areas. It is likely that the residents in the new developments will be commuting across to work outside South Warwickshire in the areas where there is a shortfall.

Representation ID: 96534
Received: 05/03/2025
Respondent: Shipston Town Council
This aligns with the proposals at the Issues & Options stage. A New Settlements strategy is supportive to curbing the over-development, and the very nature of existing settlements.

Do you have any comments on a specific site proposal or the HELAA results?
Representation ID: 96535
Received: 05/03/2025
Respondent: Shipston Town Council
An analysis of the HELAA B results is embedded in the attached document. It indicates the unacceptability of the Call for Sites areas both across the river in adjacent Parishes to Shipston on Stour and some within the Town itself. However, it does indicate that, with required improvement in infrastructure delivered before further development an addition of 667 dwellings (HELLA B figure) may be feasible in the SWLP period. No attempt has been made to include any windfall figures. Dunsmore & Feldon (area 96) has not been included in B.5.4.1 (Appendix B)
