Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Harmful to landscape being within Feldon Parkland/Terrace farm landscape an area of importance. Should be protected from unsuitable development which is out of character.
Would form a ribbon type of development along side the road.
Would spoil open views into countryside and inwards towards village.
Light pollution will cause harm to rural atmosphere. Development extends village beyond bypass.
Would sever service road serving collection pond, part of requirements for Bypass.
Impact on the financial variability of land.
Safety issues for pedestrians crossing and for vans with trailers, etc gaining access to/from bypass which is an unrestricted main road.
School in recent years has been expanded to cope with village needs. Barford not classed as growth village and so no need to expand school.
Village has little services, one community store, no doctors.

Testun llawn:

I object to the sites GT12 & GTalt12 at Barford on the following grounds:

Harmful to the open flat landscape being within the Feldon Parkland/Terrace farm landscape an area of importance and should be protected from unsuitable development such as proposed which is out of character for the area.
The layout would form a ribbon type of development along side the road, One of the reason that the Town and Country Act was created.
The visual open views into the rural countryside and also looking inwards towards the village from across the river will be spoilt.
Light pollution from the development will also cause harm to the rural atmosphere of the area at night.
The development adds an extension to the built up area of the village extending beyond the bypass.
The proposal for GT12 would sever the service road serving the collection pond which was part of the planning application requirements for the Bypass.
As this field for GT12 consist of the owner entire land holding any reduction in its size will have greater impact on the financial variability that it can earn.
There are great safety issues for pedestrians crossing and for vans with trailers, etc gaining access to and from the bypass which is an unrestricted main road for both sites.
The school in recent years has been expanded to cope with the village needs and Barford is not classed as a growth village and so there no need to expand the school.
The village has very little services only one community store, no doctors.

Sites Specific.
Possible sites should also be investigated on the approach into Warwick from Longbridge were there are areas suitable on either side of the road including land belonging to the District Council. Also within or near the proposed development areas of Kenilworth near the A46 which would give easy links to more Motorways.
There are sites mention in the Council consultation list which are more suitable and less harmful to the countryside should be used / reconsidered as suitable:-
GT01 (as part of the employment land). GT02, GT04, Also at by the breaker Yard GT08, GT11, GT15,Also next to the Motorway Police depot. GT19, GTalt02, GTalt09, Gtalt11(This area is now becoming a rural development zone so is more suitable) & GTalt16.
The Council in its Local Plan should be making provision for these sites within the proposed large development areas both residential and employment land as part of the community package.
It is also wrong to be concentrating the majority of sites within the small area of the south side of the District and having many small sites as oppose to one or two, some should also be located in the north of the District and all of them should be under the control of the Council.
