RE: OBJECTION - Warwick District Local Plan Sites for Gypsies and Travelers 2011-2029 Publication Draft -SITE B Stratford Road, Warwick.
As a resident of Warwick, I would like to object to the proposed allocation of a Gypsy and Traveler Site at Stratford Road, Warwick for the following reasons:
* The site selection process. The process to include this site into the preferred options has been accelerated in an attempt to bypass a fair and true selection process. We live in a democratic society where members of our District Council have been appointed by the public to act in their favor of the majority. It is in no way in our favor to accelerate this decision without due care and input from the local society.
* Green Belt: Too many areas around our town have been lost in recent years with a new housing development; I wish the countryside to be preserved for future generations.
Sites considered have ignored the government and Council's policy on protecting the greenbelt..
* Road Safety: The A46/M40 junction is a busy duel carriageway and motorway interchange will have to deal with the additional load of current approved developments along with Traveler traffic which will almost certainly increase the risk of road accidents and fatalities.
In conclusion, I would like it to be made clear that I consider the Plan to be unsound and not legally compliant on the grounds that it:
a) Was not positively prepared
b) Is not justified
c) Is not effective
d) Is inconsistent with national policy
I also do not think the plan was prepared in accordance with the Duty to Cooperate I would therefore like Site B removed from the plan.
