BASE HEADER

I am not a resident of Baginton but I have every sympathy with their extremely valid concerns. I can do no better than quote their reservations.
1. The size of this site will result in its becoming a dominant feature within Baginton dramatically increasing the size of the village population without increasing amenities.
2. There will be a significant number of children requiring places at the Baginton catchment area schools. Even now children are denied their first choice and therefore increasing the child population is inapprpriate.
3. The link between gypsy/traveller sites and crime is hotly debated, however its mere perception will cause the value of property in the village to decrease dramatically.
4. Combined with the Coventry and Warwickshire Gateway, this is too much development, far too quickly, for a small community. This will result in strained community relations and a reduction in the quality of life for both gypsy/traveller residents and those who currently live in Baginton.

For these reaons I would support their objection.
