Dear Warwick DC Planning

I strongly object to the proposed development of the Kites Nest Lane site for permanent use by gypsies and travellers. I emailed my objection in January 2013 and my opinions are the same as then:

'I am completely opposed to this application for retrospective planning permission at Kites Nest Lane, Beausale, Warwick. This site is a green field site and should therefore not be developed. Since the arrival of the applicants this site has become an unsavoury eyesore and a blight on our community and environment.'

I also wish to express my strong objection to the proposed development of the site on the land adjacent to the Shell Petrol filling station on the Birmingham Road for the same reasons. I am aware that this is not a green field site at present however its use is commensurate with its rural location. The address for the Birmingham Road site is Budbrooke however this land is located opposite Hatton Park, before the first turning into the development.

Hatton Park and the properties on the Birmingham Road are owner occupied,they are well maintained and this is considered a very good area to live. If gypsies and travellers were permitted to live so close to our properties this would have a detrimental affect on property prices and the appeal of the area. It would not be possible to drive up the Birmingham Road towards Hatton Park without passing a travellers' site.

There is already pressure on the Birmingham Road and any new residents, travellers or otherwise, would only increase this pressure. There is no local GP practice or school.

Gypsies and travellers have no connection with this area and should not be permitted to live on these sites either now or in the future.

I am extremely dismayed that there has been another appeal allowed on the Kites Nest Lane site and trust the council will listen to Warwickshire residents who pay their taxes and take part in elections. Please listen and preserve the beautiful area that is Hatton Park and the environs.
