Site 12 comments and objection

NB Site 16 is within this area, although is designated as separate from it. Comments apply to 16 as well. It cannot be used. It's a flood compensation area.

Part of site 12 does flood or contains ground/surface water a number of times during the year. There are wildlife implications.

The site is high flood risk and according to the Salford Survey p9 para
7.3 such sites should be avoided on grounds of flooding and safe access to road network

On these sites there will be various industrial type activities occurring as acknowledged by the Salford document p9 para 7.4 and indeed sites should be able to allow this. Here there will be river contamination effects and effects on adjacent agricultural land.

Exit and entry onto the site is off the A429, a road with poor sight lines and an existing poor accident record and a fatality in the short time it's been open.

There will be a material impact upon Barford School

It makes better sense to integegrate any site within the new developments proposed.

The Salford Report overestimates the demand for pitches by using the concept of 'suppressed need'

The survey methods used by Salford are highly suspect in that they ask questions which will lead interviewees to give only answers that lead to there being more pitches required. Can we please see studies that show the impact of sites already being used? The analysis used by Salford is very convoluted and only leads to conclusions because of the way in which the survey is conducted and the weighting given to factors they have used, not just confined to suppressed demand.
