I object once again to the shortlisting of this site. The site is on a busy main road with no appropriate access. A roundabout would need to be constructed to enable a further junction to be added to this already dangerous (for pedestrians and cyclists) road. Locating a Gypsy site so close to an established residential area will inevitably cause friction and conflict with the established community; it is too close to Chase Meadow. A gypsy site should be in a more rural location, otherwise it doesn't fit with their lifestyle choice. The impact on the Racecourse should not be underestimated, Warwick racecourse brings a lot of money into the town, locating a gypsy site on the edge of it will cause horse owners concern over illness, disease and uncontrolled dogs. I would expect a detrimental impact on the success and viability of the racecourse, leading to an impact on employment. It will also be impossible to control and contain illegal growth of pitches across the whole site once the area is opened up. It will also impact the view of the town of Warwick from the western approach. All in all this site should be graded red, not amber.
