BASE HEADER

I would like to object to the above mentioned site on the following grounds:-

1) in the criteria it says avoid areas there could be adverse impact on important feature of the natural and historic environment.
This site is directly overlooked from the Hatton Main Line canal the Hatton flight is a noted tourist attraction and historic site. Both from the canal users point of view and as a tourist attraction there is a lock adjacent to the site with the tow path on the same side as the proposed site It is a very popular walk for local residents with many families walking from Warwick to the top of the flight where there is an excellent cafe and the Hatton Arms which provides outdoor facilities. A further circular walk is available to the Hatton Craft centre.
2) There is no way that the site could be screened from the adjacent canal which is elevated all the way down the flight and would provide a birds eye view of the proposed site.
3) The present use of the site by the Caravan and Campling Club is on a very small scale there can be no comparison between a caravan parked for a short space of time to that of permanent pitches with the possiblity of wooden structures not to mention sheds refuse bins and commercial vehicles white vans cars etc Anyone who walked past the illegal site in Kites Nest Lane will have a very good idea of the permanent impact on the surrounding area even five pitches would make. The noise and amount of activity cannot be underestimated. Although on a main road it is still a peaceful and country location in the Green Belt. The A4700 is a very busy road especially at commuter times any further activity with vehicles accessing and leaving the proposed site would only increase the difficulties already encountered by road users.
