Objection to proposed Gypsy and Traveller sites near Harbury - Site GT04

I wish to object to the proposed Gypsy and Traveller site at site GT04 and consider it to be inappropriate for the following reasons:

Access to Local Amenities
The nearest Doctor's surgery has no capacity for the influx of new patients
The nearest primary, junior and secondary schools are already at capacity

Travel
The site is on a High Risk travel route with more than 12 serious accidents in the last 3 years
No bus stop is available on the Fosse Way and providing one would be unsafe for road users
The Fosse Way is already busy and dangerous, especially from increased Jaguar Land Rover traffic
No path or pavement to walk anywhere and cycling is dangerous on busy commuter routes
Children can not be allowed to stand on a busy road to wait for transport to school

Rural environment
The proposed site will have a visual impact from Harbury and the Fosse Way.
The proposed site has no mains gas, mains sewerage or drainage
Damage to wildlife habitat
The site is at risk of flooding. The end of Middle Road, Harbury Lane and fields regularly flood at times of heavy rain.
