Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Site has always looked a "mess" & placing a Gypsie/travellers site is hardly going to improve it unless signiicant landscaping and visual improvements & specific regulations of how its used/kept tidy etc are made.
This is major road into Warwick & for an area that is somewhat dependent economically on tourism the current visual impact is already poor and plans to have a permanent site would be a poor decision.
Site previously deemed unacceptable for "normal" housing because it was unsustainable.
Current site doesn't generate a lot of traffic onto irmingham Road however permanent Gypsie/Traveller site would increase such movements and with the proposed Hatton Park development, the volumes of extra traffic could be detrimental.
Current traffic in & out of the Shell Garage and the Ugly Bridge Road already causes traffic problems. The proposed site would just add to them.
Whats the estimated cost to the council,with all the changes that should be taken into consideration for this site?
What traffic count does this area already have & whats expected with the proposed site
The general environmental affect on the adjacent canal & canal community could be significant backward step for all canal users.

5)The site proposed has,as detailed in your own documents,been breaching the planning laws for many years with caravans & to legalise it is sending a bad message.Whats changed?

I urge the planning officers,the planning committee & the council to think again about this proposal.

Testun llawn:

I have the following concerns about GT19 being proposed a one of the preferred Gypsie/travellers sites.They are as follows:

1) The current site has always looked a "mess" & placing a Gypsie/travellers site is hardly going to improve it unless signiicant landscaping and visual improvements & specific regulations of how its used/kept tidy etc are made.This is a major road into Warwick & for an area that is somewhat dependent economically on tourism the current visual impact is already poor & as I've already said unless significant visual & landscaping improvements etc can be made the plans to have a permanent site would be a poor decision.

2) Under the original local plan placed online this site was deemed unacceptable for "normal" housing because,as I understood,it was unsustainable.If it was unsustainable for normal brick built houses how can it be proposed for caravans?

3) The current site does'nt generate a lot of traffic onto the Birmingham Road mainly because the business operating from there does'nt appear to have been that successful over the years & therefore has not generated much traffic.However,if a permanent Gypsie traveller site were established here the number of vehicle movements would increase,and with the proposed Hatton Park development, the volumes of extra traffic could be detrimental to the area without significant upgrading of the Birmingham Road(wider road,footpaths on both sides,lower speed limit,another roundabout etc). The current traffic in & out of the Shell Garage and the Ugly Bridge Road already causes traffic problems. The proposed site would just add to them & without a significant monetary investment could be become dangerous.Whats the estimated cost to the council,with all the changes that should be taken into consideration for this site? What traffic count does this area already have & whats expected with the proposed site

4)The general environmental affect of the proposed site on the adjacent canal & canal community could be significant backward step for all canal users.

5)The site proposed has,as detailed in your own documents,been breaching the planning laws for many years with caravans & to legalise it is sending a bad message.Whats changed?

I urge the planning officers,the planning committee & the council to think again about this proposal.
