This location is wholly unsuitable for development let alone a Gypsy and Traveller site. There are a number of reasons for this. First and foremost it would be harmful to the character and integrity of the village. Bishops Tachbrook is traditionally a small parish and any further development of any kind is detrimental to its charming character. This site is also not suitable for the Gypsy and traveller site owing to the speed in which motorists travel from and to the Banbury road. Whilst it is (I believe) a 50mph limit lowering to a 30mph in the village actual speeds are much higher. There is no suitable footpath for pedestrians therfore this would be hazardous for future intended occupants of the site especially children who would be at risk of serious/fatal accidents when not supervised. The village itself has limited services with only a single convenience store and access via public transport to neighbouring towns is ridiculously in frequent, non existent to Warwick in fact. This land remains one of the few outlying areas for not only draining but also wildlife with many birds residing and nesting in these fields, development would naturally destroy this.
