Testun llawn:
We wish to register a very strong objection to the inclusion of site GTalt03 in your consultation document 'Local Plan - Sites for Gypsies and Travellers'- dated March 2014.
This site is immediately adjacent our village of Hampton on the Hill and consequently totally unsuitable for such a site.
During the past 18 months an investment I have at Spartan Close, Tachbrook Park ,Warwick has been constantly and seriously disrupted by the children of Gypsies / Travellers. Last month they arrived again this time the adults put a chain around the concrete barriers and moved them aside to gain access. A concrete bollard has also been broken off at its base. This problem has plagued the business to such a degree that the business has now been forced to take action to relocate away from Warwick .This is an advanced technology business engaged in the 3D Printing of Titanium Components for many customers in the Midlands including all the Formula 1 Teams. The result is a loss of highly skilled employment from our Warwick as direct consequence of the action of Gypsies /Travellers uncontrolled children being allowed to live unlawfully or lawfully near factories ,offices or dwellings.
To continue, the site is within the Green Belt and in the last five years has been the subject of two planning REFUSALS by the WDC Planning Committee in 2009 and 2011. On each occasion our parish Council and Ward Councillors, Alan Rhead 2009 and Clare Sawdon 2011 supported local residents in their OBJECTIONS by speaking for them at the Planning Committee Meetings. The site has been dismissed by the Planning Inspectorate at an appeal hearing in 2009 and following that in 2010 the WDC took out an Injunction to prevent any development.
''The conditions that applied then are still valid and relevant today.''
It is therefore inconceivable that it should be given any consideration by the very Authority that REFUSED those applications.
Furthermore ,HAMPTON ON THE HILL is not identified within either the adopted WDC Local Plan (2006) or within the draft 'Village Housing Options' consultation as a sustainable location for any new residential development. As such it is also not suitable as a sustainable location for a Gypsies/ Traveller Site.
We therefore request that the site GT alt 03 be reclassified as a red site and removed from any consideration in this consultation.
