Dear Sir

Please see below my objections to proposed site GT11 - Land at Budbrooke Lodge, Hampton Road, Warwick.
1) Warwick is an historic town and the proposed site close to the Racecourse, St. Mary's Land and Green belt, would negatively impact Tourism on which many local businesses rely. The site on Hampton Road is very close to the Racecourse stable. There is a potential risk of disease being transferred from non-vaccinated animals to thoroughbred racehorse. There is also lot of wildlife in this area and this would be adversely affected if this site were to become a Gypsy and Traveller site.
2) Part of the proposed Hampton Road site (GT11) sits within the flood plain, which is in conflict to the "Planning Policy for Traveller sites". If hard standings were placed in this area it would exacerbate the problems in the flood plain.
3) Judging by the depth of negative feeling regarding the proposed site on Hampton Road "peaceful and integrated co-existence between the site and the local community" appears to be impossible.
4) The noise from the A46 is very loud, especially where the vehicles pass under the bridge where the Hampton Road crosses the A46. The site on the Hampton Road is very close to this bridge so there is a high potential for noise on this site.
5) The junction of Purser Drive on to Hampton Road is very busy and will only become busier as the building on Chase Meadow estate increases. Traffic travels too fast down this stretch of road and to have an entrance to a Gypsy and Traveller site close by on the opposite side of the road could be dangerous especially with caravans turning in and out of the entrance.
