I agree with all these strategic objectives.
One thing missing is the production and consumption of food. This comes into 4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12. Please see the attached fresh food strategy that was presented to SDC Climate Forum. The authors were told that it would inform the SWLP

Other settlements and strategic growth locations are more suitable. ie. the ones where residents can walk or cycle to a train station should be prioritised. The more residents that rely on their car the more carbon we will emit - electric cars are not carbon neutral.
Shipston must get more infrastructure, and if that means another 100 or so houses by 2050, then residents will be ok with that. It is just that everyone has had such a bad experience of new developments. I think SDC has 1 example of good development (the passivhaus homes in Wooten Wawen)

Sites east of the river - unsuitable for housing, good for POS and energy
Sites south west of the town - unsuitable for housing
sites north east of the town - possible area for mixed development (housing and business)

Rail must be favoured over roads.
The Sactra report must be noted - the more roads you build, the more traffic there will be - the induced use principal.

to help the district towards net zero, we don't need any aviation provision, and all this brownfield land could be used for mixed development (housing, employment, and community assets)

This is the growing part of our economy, so should be a priority. Aviation land could be used for this.

Food production should be mentioned here, especially fruit and veg (horticulture). Polytunnels or other related development should be supported.

Especially in relation to county farms - they should always be kept as farms, as they offer a really precious resource for new entrant farmers.
Especially in relation to REFID 552 - Shipston recycling centre.

Yes, each centre should be helped to have a town centre strategy.
There should be tax breaks for independent businesses who fit into this strategy.
