I wish to object in the strongest of terms to both the Revised Development Strategy and the siting of Gypsies and Travellers Sites in close proximity to Chase Meadow Housing Estate. I particularly want to object to the locating of Gypsies & Travellers Sites in particular:
* GT 11(Hampton Road)
* GT 17 (Southbound A46)
* GT 18 (Northbound A46)
* GT 20 (M40 Junc 15)
I strongly object to the proposed Options fro Travellers sites as those outlined above are in direct conflict with the 'Planning Policy for Traveller Sites' as the local infrastructure is simply not able to support one or more of these sites, especially the local schools, doctors, surrounding roads and social facilities. This I know has been supported by letters from both Aylesford and Newburgh Schools.
As recognised within the 'Planning Policy for Traveller Sites' it should promote peaceful and integrated co-existence between the site and the local community: the current discord the issue has created shows that this requirement would not be met and is in direct conflict with this requirement.
Warwick is the most historical town in Warwickshire and once again, the siting of Gypsies and Travellers Sites as you enter Warwick is in direct conflict with the 'Planning Policy for Traveller Sites' as these sites would have a dramatic and adverse impact on how the town is viewed and will negatively impact Tourism to the local area, particularly the Racecourse, and many local businesses who heavily rely on it for trade. I am also aware that the sites are located close to major interchanges and major arterial roads that already take huge numbers of vehicles. The councils own sustainability audit questions these sites for this reason and the living conditions this will place on the Travellers and their families.
We have witnessed a worsening situation over recent years with flooding, a situation which shows no sign of changing in future years and the site on the Hampton Road (GT11) site sits in part within the Flood plain. There is also particular concern of extremely close proximity of the sites to Green Belt land. Any further hard standing within the area is likely to exacerbate the current issues with the flood plain.
I hope you look at these views in the round and reject the proposed locations above as they are not suitable and in direct conflict with Planning Policy for Traveller Sites.
