Representation Summary:

Bidford-on-Avon has already experienced significant growth and is currently surrounded on two sides by new housing developments. The land indicated in location SG20 would represent around a 200% increase in the size of the village footprint. The village facilities and infrastructure are already failing to cope with the current number of homes, so adding this growth location to the village would be likely to exacerbate these issues which include: decentralisation of the village away from the high street, increased traffic congestion and potential damage to the single-lane listed bridge, lack of provision for primary and secondary school places.

Similarly to the Shipston proposal this would effectively double the size of Bideford using primarily green belt land destroying one of the many joys of warwickshire.

Representation Summary:

Bidford-on-Avon has already been recklessly over-developed without the infrastructure to support it. Any further development will violate the rural nature of the locality and put an even greater strain on services. It is unthinkable that this area is yet again a target for more housing when it has been the victim of such unwanted and unwarranted development in the past.

Representation Summary:

Concerns on existing road and services infrastructure.
Is bidford already passed its maximum threshold to support the residents for essential services including schools and health availability.
It is understood that surrounding area is of historical interest and particular areas would require archaeological processes placed.
Around Famington farm and surrounding areas are considered a major part of the villages character and an area of natural interest. This includes the trees planted at the top of the hill for the recent queen Elizabeths silver jubilee.

Respondent: Mr adam Wakeley

Representation Summary:

There is no mains / sewage drainage (houses at Famington all on septic tanks).
The Small Brook will not cope with new houses, it already bursts its banks and floods the fields. Rain water will not be soaked up by the land if built on & it will be diverted there.
Grafton Lane is too narrow for public transport with a railway bridge creating a pinch point.
The hill is very steep @ 20% and has a blind corner & will cause accidents.
One of the fields is 'ridge & furrow' confirming the land has medieval interest & history

Representation Summary:

I challenge the extent of "the location" as including Council land near Exhall, Temple Grafton Wixford parishes also at rear of Main St Exhall, and land bounded by Grafton Lane , Wixford Rd and George Elms Lane. Reasons ; poor road access , much single track, no kerbs and risk of "falling off "edges and ripping tyres, schools at capacity, no railway station and Bidford and Welford Bridges often out of action . Conservation areas exist for good reason. The land is highly visible ; houses would have detrimental impact on amenities. Infill / small development opposed for same reasons.

Representation Summary:

The capacity of Small Brook to cope with more surface run off water from roofs, drives & roads is a major concern & will flood the area as there is no mains sewage or drainage to take this water (to date the rain has largely been absorbed by the farming land) & the brook already breaches its banks & floods some farm land (not the houses at Famington, but this would change if there was development on the surrounding land)

Representation Summary:

Bidford on Avon Parish has seen over 600 dwellings built in the last five years without infrastructure improvements or job opportunities, and we still face flooding issues. Public transport is inadequate for a Main Rural Centre, with limited bus services that hinder achieving Net Zero targets. Agricultural sites mentioned in SG20 should remain as such for biodiversity or sports facilities. I support developing the Land at Kings Meadow as an orchard. Additionally, large sites in Broom should remain countryside, with the only suitable potential development at the site near the Waterloo Industrial Estate.

Bidford had no capacity for more development. The bridge is overused already and there is no plan to build a new bridge. The roads are not fit for increased traffic. Most of the sites outlined are floodplains which is so ridiculous. I wholeheartedly do NOT support this application.

Representation Summary:

There is not enough infrastructure in Bidford to cope with new houses. The 1 primary school is too small, with not enough spaces for the children of Bidford. My child did not get a space at the local primary
because of the new housing estate we now have to travel to Temple Grafton. There is no secondary school in Bidford either Yet Alcester being smaller by population has 3 secondary schools and 2 primary schools and leisure centre. With out adequate infrastructure the village will not cope.

Bidford does not have the facilities (schools, sports facilities, local shops) of neighbouring towns such as Alcester but a population that is bigger. Additional houses will put an even bigger strain on existing primary school and road infrastructure.
