Dear Sirs

REF: GT03 Land at Barnwell Farm

Proposed Site for Gypsies and Travellers

I wish to object to the above proposed site - GT03 at Barnwell Farm.

My concerns and comments are as follows:-

a. Access to Local Amenities - the nearest doctor's surgery has NO capacity for the influx of new patients and the nearest primary, junior and secondary schools are already at capacity.
b. Travel - The site is on a high risk travel route with more than 12 serious accidents in the last 3 years! There is currently no bus stop on the Fosse Way and providing one would be unsafe for road users. The Fosse Way is already a busy and dangerous road, with increased Jaguar Landrover traffic.
There is no pavement to walk anywhere and cycling is extremely dangerous on busy commuter routes. Children cannot be allowed to stand on a busy road waiting for transport to school.
c. Rural Environment/Other - The proposed site will have a visual impact from Harbury and Fosse Way.
The proposed site has no mains gas, mains sewerage or drainage.
I am also concerned about the damage to the wildlife and its habitat.
In addition to this, it is a flood risk area often flooding at the end of Middle Road, Harbury Lane and surrounding fields.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require verification of my objection.
