GT15 Land at Europa Way - a preferred site:
Access for vehicles towing trailers and caravans from Europa Way onto the site, and vice versa, would be very dangerous on such a busy road. In fact any vehicle wanting to turn off Europa Way between the roundabouts would be dangerous. In addition, turning traffic would cause traffic hold-ups, which the recent 'improvements' have attempted to address.
The land floods during wet weather by the Tach brook. There could be a problem of pollution from the activities of the Gipsy and Traveller communities. There are no mains supplies of water and power to this site.

GTalt01 Brookside Willows, Banbury Way - preferred site:
Of all the proposed sites this seems to be the most appropriate as it is already prepared for a caravan site and is well-screened from the road, so should not impinge on the view as people travel into, and out of, Warwick. It is close to major road networks and when all the proposed housing developments are taken into account the site occupants would have access to education and health care.

GT05 Tachbrook Hill Farm, Mallory Road - Alternative site:
The position of this site would be in a very dangerous place. Access onto Banbury Road from Mallory Road is already dangerous, there have been several accidents, some of them fatal at this junction. The fields both north and south of the junction flood over Mallory Road in heavy or sustained rain.
Towing vehicles turning into, and off, the site near the junction of an already busy Mallory Road would be extremely dangerous. Traffic queues back from this junction at peak hours and it can take a considerable time to turn out of Mallory Road now, without any extra vehicles. Bishop's Tachbrook school is always oversubscribed and the sporadic arrival of G & T children would cause difficulties with statutory class sizes. The impact of such a site on the approach in to the village of Bishop's Tachbrook would be unacceptable and it would also be highly visible from Banbury Road. The site would have problems with noise both from Banbury Road and the M40 a few hundred meters away, and the noise created by the site would impact on Bishop's Tachbrook residents.
