Area is prone to flooding
Road access is not by any means safe, there have been several deaths on this stretch of road, and it would be wilfully negligent to have a site containing potentially young children right in the middle of a canal and an extremely busy stretch of roa
Site would not be able to be integrated into the landscape, due to the current gaping hedge set-up; nor would it be 'integrated' from the canal side
Need to build on 'green belt' land should only be under exceptional circumstances
I write to state my strong objections to the proposed gypsy site (GT19) on Birmingham Road. The selection strongly contradicts your own site selection criteria:-
1) The area is prone to flooding
2) The road access is not by any means safe, there have been several deaths on this stretch of road, and it would be wilfully negligent to have a site containing potentially young children right in the middle of a canal and an extremely busy stretch of road
3) Such a site would not be able to be integrated into the landscape, due to the current gaping hedge set-up; nor would it be 'integrated' from the canal side
Additionally, The need to build on 'green belt' land should only be under exceptional circumstances, clearly this site location would not merit this.
Lastly I would like to additionally bring to attention Councillor Claire Sawden's response to WDC Executive. All the points she made I totally agree with. I have attached a link to her response:-
