Written objection to Traveller site proposed at
OAKLANDS FARM, BIRMINGHAM ROAD, Warwick

I am writing to register my formal and firm objection to the proposed site as listed above. This is a thoughtless idea which will result in an enormous amount of disruption and stress that will, in turn, leave permanent damage/ruin to this beautiful area. My reasons why this plan should not go ahead are as follows:-

a) Local schools are already too full.

b) GPs locally will not cope.

c) The site will cause a traffic hazard and congestion to an already busy route which everyone uses to access Warwick/M40 and A46.

d) The pollution, mess/rubbish produced by the site would spoil this scenic area, and would be out of keeping with the natural beauty of this lovely area.

e) Huge negative effect on family leisure activities/tourism around the canal, beauty would be lost and people would not use the lovely café which relies heavily on visitors to the area. All leisure pursuits/families would go elsewhere. A popular area for families and tourists would be lost forever.

f) Highly visible site which would look totally out of place in this area.

g) Would cause undue stress to local residents who have lived here happily for many years, and who are very different to Gypsy/Traveller people. This will inevitably result in negative relations, in turn causing the Council and Police regular complaints/more work on a permanent basis.

h) The site is far too close to the attractive houses on Hatton Park and those which are situated along the Birmingham Road. A traveller site would devalue properties, tarnish this area and put off developers from building desirable dwellings/investing in this area.

Why do this to an area of natural beauty by the canal which is very peaceful and unspoilt?


Many thanks for your immediate attention and registration of this objection
