Testun llawn:
I am a resident of Bishops Tachbrook and have been for some 16 years now living in Parsonage Close. I have attended many of the local action groups meetings in both Warwick and Bishops Tachbrook reference the proposed site for gypsies and travellers and would like to register my objection to the site at Bishops Tachbrook (GT05).
1. It is my belief that this site is unsuitable due to the strain it would put on the village facilities such as the primary school and doctors surgery, these sites already suffer badly with traffic at peak times.
2. I am also concerned about its locality at a junction that already has a history of road traffic accidents, i have witnessed the aftermath of a few of these myself.
3. It would also impact the visual amenity of the village when exiting or entering the village from the Banbury Road.
4. The site itself is also prone to flooding and i would expect that extensive alterations to the local drainage system would be necessary.
It is with some regret that i recommend the proposed site at Brookside Willows on the Banbury Road (GTalt01) I believe that although this is not ideal it has less impact overall as it,
1. Has safe and easy access to the main road network.
2. Already has an infrastructure in place regarding services and drainage.
3. Is already screened to prevent a visual impact to the local area.
4. Already has planning permission for similar use.
I believe that non of the 4 proposed sites are ideal, but I realise that there will have to be some facility provided for the gypsies and travellers by Warwick District Council.
