Testun llawn:
With reference to the "Criteria" at para 6.1 of the plan I comment as follows adopting the relevant sub-para numbers.
1. It is claimed that the site is 2.6 miles from Bishops Tachbrook and 2.9 from Hampton Magna. According to Google maps it is 4.3 miles and 3.6 miles respectively. It is not therefore as convenient as claimed to a doctors surgery, assuming, that facilities are available. Public transport would not be a viable option.
Also, any of the facilities in Barford, particularly the school, would entail crossing a busy road with children being obliged to do so twice a day. Supervision would be needed but out of school times this would not be available.
3. Exiting from the site into fast moving traffic will be a danger particularly if turning south. Also entering the site from the north will require a centre lane to be created otherwise a dangerous situation will be created. There has already been one fatal accident on this stretch of road.
4. This site is at the side of the A429 carrying fast and noisy traffic. It would not be possible to prevent noise. If bunding is proposed, of doubtful value and contrary to sub-para 7, it would serve to obscure the view of Sherbourne church.
5. There is no main drainage. Any none mains system will have to take account of the river/flood location.
Additionally. Compulsory purchase required thereby increasing costs.
Fewer larger sites should be preferred to reduce the overall costs of maintenance and administration.
