Respondent: The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust

Please see below a comment from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, specifically around the proposed housing development site at Wilmcote.

"As the charity responsible for conserving and maintaining the Shakespeare family homes, we believe that the wider environment in which the properties are located is an essential part of our shared heritage and supports the stories we share with audiences.

As such, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has concerns about further urbanisation of the rural landscape that envelops the village of Wilmcote and Mary Arden’s Farm."
