Dear Sirs please take note of my objection to the proposed Gypsy Traveller site Options.
For the reasons mentioned Below;

* The proposed Gypsy and traveller sites in Baginton (ref G101 & G107) are
inappropriate development in the Green Belt. The consultation documents
identify major negative effects as to the sites being located on Green Belt land
and being adjacent to Coventry airport, the industrial park and in the vicinity of
several sewage treatment works, with the. associated noise, light and air quality
effects.
* The proposed sites are not within easy reach of local facilities such as doctors,
schools, hospitals etc and there is poor public transport provision. Access from
the sites to the village along the grass verges are not suitable for pushchairs,
wheelchairs or use by the infirm.
* There are already three traveller sites within a few miles of those proposed in
Baginton at Siskin Drive, Brandon Lane and Oxford Road. Therefore the
proposed sites do not satisfy the Local Plan Strategy of "distributing
development across the District".
The proposed site in Stoneleigh Road is on private land, which includes part of
the local nursery. It is unacceptable to adversely impact a rural business by
forcing them to give up part of their land for such a development, when there are
more suitable sites.
* The alternative sites proposed to the south of Warwick district are preferable
options to the two proposed in Baginton parish as they are outside the Green
Belt, have better access to facilities, would not have an adverse impact on a
rural business and would not lead to an over-concentration of sites in one area.
