GT05 Land at Tachbrook Hill Farm
The nature of my representation is an Objection.

I am writing to object to a gypsy site at Tachbrook Hill Farm. This is an alternative site at the moment, but I am concerned that it might become a preferred site in the future.
This site is bordered on two sides by main roads. One is a main entrance to Bishop's Tachbrook village and the other is the main road from the M40 to Leamington Spa and Warwick. Since I can see sheep and lambs in the field at the moment, there is obviously insufficient vegetation to screen a gypsy site from these roads. I have never seen a tidy gypsy encampment and a site here would seriously blight the approach to the village and the two towns.
The Banbury Road (A452) is a very busy road and at times it is extremely difficult to exit from the junction. An additional access to the road would further exacerbate the problem. This is already an accident black spot.
Although this site is classed as low risk Flood Zone 1, I have seen a section of the field under water. The ditches at the edges of the field are frequently full of water and flood over onto the road.
This site is very near residential properties.

The nature of my representation is an Objection
If the vegetation is removed there will be insufficient screening to hide this site from the main road joining the M40 to Leamington Spa. I have never seen a tidy gypsy encampment and this would be an eyesore on the approach to Leamington Spa.
For residents to reach a bus service they would have to walk along Europa Way. This is an extremely busy road and any pedestrians on it would be a danger to themselves and to the traffic.
