The site is bound by busy roads and Fosse Way, between the A425 and B4100 is an accident blackspot, with 41 accidents in the 5 years to December 2013. The Harbury Lane/Fosse Way junction has had 6 accidents in the 3 years to December 2013. Increasing the size and volume of vehicles will exacerbate the problems for both locals and gypsies/travellers.

The site, according to the Environment Agency website, is liable to flooding. A full flood risk assessment is required.

The site would adversely impact the historic landscape of Chesterton windmill and the Roman Fort at Chesterton.

Nearby housing developments (115 houses at Bishop's Itchington and 200 houses at the former cement works site between Bishop's Itchington and Harbury) are likely to take up any existing school place capacity, meaning children from this site will have to travel to Leamington Spa.

The nearest GP surgery will require additional funding if it is to cope with any extra demand.

The landowners do not wish to sell the site so its availability and deliverability is questionable.

There are other sites available which offer more convenient access to shops, schools and medical facilities.
