Ref GT02: Safe Access - There will be no safe access on to the over-busy Fosse Way. This is already a high casualty area and this potential development would only increase it.

Ref GT02: Local Amenities - The only public transport access (bus stop) is on the A425. Access to this bus stop from the proposed site would require walking along the unmade grass verge of the Fosse Way, and then across the A425/Fosse Way Roundabout, where no paths are present or possible. This will cause accidents, if not fatalities, to those trying to do so.

Ref GT02: Use of the Site - The only non-residential activity in the area is arable farming. As the consultation guidance mentions that "some travellers live and work from the same location" this will, without doubt, not promote peaceful and integrated co-existence between the site and present local community, as this would run contrary to the way of life for all the surrounding residents.

Ref GT02: Local Landscape - This proposed site slopes up from the Fosse Way meaning it would be exposed and open to the Fosse Way. This proposed site could not be integrated without harming the landscape of the area.

Ref GT02: Noise Levels - Road noise from the Fosse Way to an exposed site such as that proposed under GT02 would be very high. The Fosse Way is extremely busy and this section has fast moving traffic, which will generate a high level of noise and disruption to the site.

Ref GT02: Provision of Utilities - There is no mains waste water service in the area and the implementation of such on other local developments has been extremely expensive.
