BASE HEADER

I would like to formally object to the option of having the Gypsies and Travellers site located at the following area:

GT19 - Land off Birmingham Rd, Budbrooke, Oaklands Farm
I note in your appendix 2 from the formal council meeting that you deem this site to be a good option for the site (and have given it a 'green' rating).
In doing so, I can only assume you have ignored all your own stated criteria for such an assessment and have decided to ignore the valid points already highlighted as objections (shown below to remind you):
* Green Belt land that should be preserved
* Would destroy countryside
* Access onto main road will increase traffic hazards. Notoriously
difficult and dangerous road with speeds in excess of 40mph
limit and bend in road limiting visibility
* Close to heavily populated urban area and highly visible so not in
keeping with locality
* Distracting to passing motorists
* Schools are oversubscribed
* Canal bridge suffers from subsidence and unsuitable for heavy
vehicles and very narrow for caravans
* Site has been breaching law for years with caravans occupying
the site. To legalise is sending a bad message
* Potential for unauthorised expansion
* Negative effect on property values
* Unattractive on approach to Warwick
* Effect on tourism
* Grand Union Canal recently upgraded towpath and locks are
popular with walkers, family groups, canal cruisers and anglers
* Direct access to the Canal from at least two points at Oaklands
Farm. Leakage of noise and waste onto canal bank
* Impact on important features of natural and historic
environment
* GP surgery already stretched
* Dentists at capacity
* Any further development to small community on Birmingham
Road will spoil quality of life
* Should be well away from existing communities
* Would hamper any future development of housing
* Possibility of ribbon development in green belt
* Close to railway lines and bridges
* Close to petrol station with dangers of waiting vehicles on road,
fumes, emissions and pollutants
* Effect on cleanliness and tidiness of canal and towpath
I therefore would like to formally add my objections to this site as a local resident for all the reasons outlined above.
