No More Houses in Wellesbourne
Without New Infrastructure!
Stop Wellesbourne from becoming 'Wellesbourne New Town'!
Enough is enough! Wellesbourne is being unfairly targeted by developers wishing to cash in on Stratford-on-Avon District Council’s lack of a Five-Year Housing Land Supply!
Believe it or not there are already planning applications in the pipeline to build an extra 855 homes in Wellesbourne, which together with the prospective additional sites in SG15 and SG16 up for debate in the proposed South Warwickshire Local Plan, the village of Wellesbourne is set to become Wellesbourne New Town!
So before it’s too late, please sign my petition to put a stop to more houses in Wellesbourne as:
· Hastings House Medical Centre is at capacity
· Wellesbourne Primary School is Full
· Kineton High School and Stratford High School are Full
· Flooding is a major concern
· Sewerage system is at capacity
· Increased traffic congestion
More housing not only impacts residents in Wellesbourne and Walton, but also impacts hard with villagers in Ashorne, Charlecote, Hampton Lucy, Lighthorne, Loxley, Moreton Morrell, Moreton Paddox and Newbold Pacey.
Since the government moved the goal posts in the planning system in December 2024, our LibDem controlled council just sat on their hands and wasted over nine months hoping for the best, but not planning for the worst.
As a result of the Bordon Hill, Stratford-upon-Avon Appeal for 130 dwellings by Gladman Developments – which should never have been defended at huge tax payer expense – the planning inspector ruled that Stratford-on-Avon District Council lost its Five-Year Housing Land Supply in September 2025 and as a consequence this has provided a blueprint for rapacious developers looking to cash in on landowners green fields who must think they’ve won the lottery!
And Wellesbourne and Walton appears to be seen as an easy target!
As the Conservative district councillor for Wellesbourne North and Rural, I’m keen to put a stop to any large-scale housing that is not supported by essential new infrastructure, so please sign my petition and have your say so that I can make sure our message gets heard loud and clear by Stratford-on-Avon District Council.
