I write to inform you of my objection to the proposed gypsy and traveller site on Stratford Road, Warwick.

I believe that this site has been selected without due process and fair consultation with local residents.

I cannot accept that it can be lawful to allow anyone to live so close to a sewage works and to an extremely busy motorway - it would seem in complete contradiction to planning laws let alone simple consideration for the people you are expecting to live on this site - not only would the noise and air pollution be unpleasant for them but also must be a health risk - this is to say nothing of how anyone would feel about having to live in such a location - that such a location should even be considered speaks volumes to me about how this community is perceived by the council.

I note also that the site proposed includes areas which are classified flood zones - again a contravention of what seems to me to be very clear planning guidance, and yet another added risk factor to the community expected to reside there.

I am also concerned that in order to gain access to this site another junction will have to be added to what is already an extremely busy, bendy road - warwick already struggles with the volume of traffics it endures - it seems unacceptable to me that the council should even consider adding to the traffic problems here.

I ask that you take into consideration my objections and I hope that the council moves to find a more suitable site.
