Respondent: Bidford-on-Avon Parish Council
Bidford on Avon Parish has already been overdeveloped in the last 5 years (over 600 dwellings) with no corresponding infrastructure improvement or increased job opportunities.
-As mentioned above, there is very poor public transport, specially considering it is a named Main Rural Centre.
-It is noted that all the sites mentioned in SG20 are Agricultural and, in the present climate, Council strongly supports they remain so. These sites could be considered for biodiversity, supporting Objective 12, or for sports facilities, supporting Objective 10)
-The site identifies as Land at Kings Meadow would be supported as an orchard (Objective 12)
-The site to the south of Tower Hill towards the river – it should be noted that the area close to the river floods regularly.
-It was also noted that some of the large sites are in Broom, which should remain countryside with no new development except Rural Exception or replacement. There should also be a distinct boundary between the settlement of Bidford on Avon and Broom.
The Parish Council has resolved to review its current NDP which will include a revision of any possible sites suitable for sustainable development
