Testun llawn:
- The owner of Oaklands Farm and suggested site is not willing to sell for this purpose.
- Road safety issue. Vehicles turning in and out of any entrance will
cause accidents. Not only is this on a bend but also close to an existing junction on a busy road with regular queuing traffic. No facility to provide filtered turning.
- Visual impact. Harmful to rural area and communities, including Hatton
Locks. Conflicts with character of area. It would not be possible to
integrate any site into this rural area.
- Increased traffic to an already congested Birmingham Rd at peak times.
- Lack of facilities for travellers. Schools are already over subscribed.
- Would be an appaling distruction of greenbelt. GT19 is Greenbelt and preservation should be in accordance with the NPPF.
- Position alongside the canal makes this site unsuitable.
- Noise and disruption to very close communities. This is a rural and peaceful area this would be completely taken away.
- Overpopulation and density of rural area.
- Encouragement and likelihood of illegal sites and or this site spreading.
