Object on the grounds of impact on the rural environment (open valley, woodlands, ecology); potential for this to lead to a sprawling settlement; insufficient capacity in local services (schools, doctors etc); increased traffic; impact on the local economy and likelihood that local businesses would have to close and impact on archeaology

Object to this proposed site as other sites more appropriate.
Site fails the Council's criteria as there is a viable business on site that brings money to area and would be adversely affected. Site lies in valley so clearly visible from surrounding areas. Roman road is of significant historical interest. Fosse Way has numerous dangerous road warning signs.

Objects to GT02 on the following grounds:
*Warwickshire exhibition centre is a thriving business which will be destroyed. The loss of employment will harm other businesses and bars and shops which rely on trade from visitors to the centre.
* the nearest GP surgery is full to capacity the next is 5 miles away. The primary school is nearly at full capacity.
* It will not be safe for children to leave the site due to the lack of footpaths, the only bus stop does not have pavement to reach it.
*The site is on a high risk travel route with more than 12 serious accidents in the last three years. Cycling is particularly hazardous on this route. Additional use of adjacent roads by gypsies and their vehicles will simply increase these dangers
* The site could be integrated into the landscape without harming the character of the area, wildlife and adjacent ancient woodland and archaeology.

Objects to sites GT02, GT03 and GT04 on the following grounds:
* New housing is already underconstruction in Bush Heath Lane, Harbury
* The school is at capacity
* The roads servicing all three sites are busy and dangerous and subject to numerous serious accidents
* HS2 will bring disruption, noise and loss of countryside
* Harbury is under the flight path to Birmingham Airport
* Residents have to put up with unpleasant smells from local farms and infill
* Would put further pressure on the doctors surgery
* Is a safe community for residents
* Cyclists and horse riders can use the village roads without the risk of too fast traffic.

Will result in the closure of the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre which has already lost prospective business and up to 40 jobs now at risk. economic impact assessment submits the Centre contributes £2m+ to the local economy each year.
The nearest doctor's surgery is almost five miles away, with no direct bus service but has no capacity for new patients.
Site is on a High Risk travel route (over 12 serious accidents in last 3 years). Adjacent bus stop is on overgrown verge, with no path or pavement and cycling on busy commuter routes is potentially dangerous
The site is on the Archaeological Register with Ancient Pottery recently found. Also it's a Historic Toll site from Medieval times.
Visual impact across valley gateway to Leamington and Warwick. Damage to wildlife habitat, site adjacent to protected ancient woodland.

Local GP surgeries are either full or not served by public transport meaning no convenient access.
Radford Primary School is almost full and will be oversubscribed if the proposed new houses are built in the village. Harbury Primary School is also full.
The public transport is satisfactory but residents are likely to use their own transport. There is a bus stop on the B425 but no pedestrian links from it to the potential site.
Site will generate hundreds of traffic movements daily adding to peak time delays on a fast road that is designated a High Risk Route by the County Council. Being on the junction of two major roads the access may require highway improvements but it's unwise to introduce more traffic here. Also any new bus shelters, pedestrian crossing, street lighting etc will add to the urbanization of the area.
Fosse Way a very busy main road which creates the potential for noise and disturbance to site residents
Site has no mains sewerage, drainage or gas and only a limited rural electricity supply line so fails to meet the Council's site requirement criteria.
At this point the Fosse Way is on its original alignment so considerable archaeological remains will be destroyed as previous remains have been found locally. Therefore it's important that archaeology and heritage of the area can be recovered and safeguarded prior to any site works.
The proposed site will cover 0.8 hectare (8000 m²) which is four times the size of the Exhibition Centre and could increase if working space is also included. The large number and variety of caravans and vehicles in the bottom of the valley cannot be integrated into the landscape without harming the visual appearance and character of the area. Also the historic traditional Woodlands provide habitat for birds and small mammals (Pipistrelle bats, great crested newts) and would be greatly affected by the site and possible intrusion and activities of younger residents.
The village of Radford Semele over 1.5 miles away and there is a very small community in Fosse Way (20 houses) within half a mile of the site. The 120 residents on site will absorb rather than integrate with this small local community so will not encourage peaceful and integrated co-existence.
The proposed site has no mains sewerage, drainage or gas and the electricity supply is a limited rural line which will possibly need upgrading to an increase in demand.
The perception of the site will impact on the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre which is likely to lose events and make it impossible to continue operating resulting in job losses. Local economy will lose the money spent on accommodation, food, entertainment etc from visitors to the Exhibition Centre (c£5m). Additionally several other local businesses (employing between 50 and 60 people) would be caused significant difficulties by this development.
Unauthorised expansion from the site onto agricultural land could mean contractors would not risk tractors and equipment and together with crop damage and possible rubbish deposits could result in the land becoming unsightly and unfarmed.
Fosse Alpaca and Kune Kune Pigs are located close to the site, and it is important to protect the animals from diseases (foot and mouth, bTB and Parro virus) which can be spread by human trespass and unvaccinated dogs. The animals graze on fields between the site and the Grand Union Canal.
The site will be major invasion into the openness of the countryside and will be an irreversible urbanisation of the entire area and make further 'ribbon' development harder to resist.

B425 and A425 extremely busy roads (especially at peaks when children would be going to school) with recent history of accidents. Cycling also dangerous with limited space on both roads. Bus stops in dangerous places. Walking to school impossible without risk due to lack of footways. Poor public transport and high danger.
GP surgery 4 miles away and very over-subscribed without a bus service. Hospital 6 miles away.
Proposal means loss of exhibition centre that has £2m income and provides jobs (40+) and business for other enterprises. Recent history of bookings and bookings for 2014. Predicted growth to £4m in 2017. Loss of employment and contribution to local economy.
Harm to local landscape and visible from all aspects.
No drains, gas or rural electric supplies. Low broadband.
Ancient Roman Road and archaeological site.

At this point the Fosse Way is on its original alignment so considerable archaeological remains will be destroyed as previous remains have been found locally. Therefore it's important that archaeology and heritage of the area can be recovered and safeguarded prior to any site works.
The proposed site will cover 0.8 hectare (8000 m²) which is four times the size of the Exhibition Centre and could increase if working space is also included. The large number and variety of caravans and vehicles in the bottom of the valley cannot be integrated into the landscape without harming the visual appearance and character of the area. Also the historic traditional Woodlands provide habitat for birds and small mammals (Pipistrelle bats, great crested newts) and would be greatly affected by the site and possible intrusion and activities of younger residents.
The village of Radford Semele over 1.5 miles away and there is a very small community in Fosse Way (20 houses) within half a mile of the site. The 120 residents on site will absorb rather than integrate with this small local community so will not encourage peaceful and integrated co-existence.
The proposed site has no mains sewerage, drainage or gas and the electricity supply is a limited rural line which will possibly need upgrading to an increase in demand.
The perception of the site will impact on the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre which is likely to lose events and make it impossible to continue operating resulting in job losses. Local economy will lose the money spent on accommodation, food, entertainment etc from visitors to the Exhibition Centre (c£5m). Additionally several other local businesses (employing between 50 and 60 people) would be caused significant difficulties by this development.
Unauthorised expansion from the site onto agricultural land could mean contractors would not risk tractors and equipment and together with crop damage and possible rubbish deposits could result in the land becoming unsightly and unfarmed.
Fosse Alpaca and Kune Kune Pigs are located close to the site, and it is important to protect the animals from diseases (foot and mouth, bTB and Parro virus) which can be spread by human trespass and unvaccinated dogs. The animals graze on fields between the site and the Grand Union Canal.
The site will be major invasion into the openness of the countryside and will be an irreversible urbanisation of the entire area and make further 'ribbon' development harder to resist.

Doctor's surgeries at Harbury and Radford Semele are full as are nearest primary, junior and secondary schools.
Site is High Risk travel route with more than 12 serious accidents in last 3 years.There is no path or pavement and cycling is dangerous. Children cannot be allowed on a busy road to wait for transport to school.
Site has no mains gas, mains sewerage or drainage. It is a low level site with problems of flooding causing problems with sewerage etc.
There would be damage to wildlife habitats.
Local businesses would be affected mainly the Exhibition Centre and local farms. Impacts also on archaeology and heritage (Fosse Way is a Roman road), urbanisation, agriculture and rural landscape.
Brown area sites would not use prime farm land or involve speeding traffic, flooding etc and put lives of any children and families on this site in danger.

Exhibition centre would become unviable damaging the owners, the staff and the local economy.
The Fosse Way is known to be a dangerous road for both traffic and pedestrians.
Would seriously detract from the visual amenity of an area of natural beauty. Cannot screen the site from the Ufton and Radford approaches.
Access to schools and GPs is significantly limited and are close to, if not beyond, capacity.
The Fosse Way has historical significance.

Incredulous site being considered for cpo. Significant impact on owner's home and potential significant impact on operation of Exhibition Centre which will be at risk of closure. Already resulted in loss of business opportunities. Potential loss of 40 jobs. Centre contributes to local economy with knock on business at time when needed in country.
Inappropriate on High Risk Travel Route with accident history; bus stop on overgrown verge, no footway and potentially dangerous to walk or cycle.
HS2 proposals nearby with implications of construction compound - potential noise and air pollution adding to existing 24/7.
Ill placed for local amenities; nearest GP surgery has no capacity and nearest available almost 5mls away with no bus service.
Archaeology on site.
Will be detrimental to visual amenity of rural area and destroy gateway to Leamington and Warwick as well as wildlife habitat and adj to protected ancient woodland. Will blight area and landscape.
Site adj The Fosse unsuitable for occupation. Isolated rural area.
More suitable locations should be investigated with local infrastructure, and better access to transport. Will not promote peaceful and integrated co-existence. Travellers stays will be temporary.
Will not meet aims and objectives.

Radford Semele school is almost at capacity; congestion outside school daily with real danger to children and adults. Residents adj The Fosse would have to drive to school.
No doctors surgery in village; closest is over-subscribed.
Inadequate local transport, cycling dangerous and no train until Leamington.
Potential loss of livelihoods at Exhibition Centre if business forced to close. Also less visitors to area. Unfair to business owners.
Fear of crime.
Site on High Risk Road with history of fatalities; children crossing adds to risk.
Site of historic importance (archaeology) and a wildlife habitat near protected woodland.
Poor visual impact. Large settlement could attract vernin.

An existing bus stop on a high risk route but no pathways, standing area or lay by for the buses to stop. No footpath to Radford Semele either.
No capacity at the nearest GP surgery.
Radford Semele primary school has very little spare capacity. Proposed new houses in Radford Semele would take any spare school or GP capacity.
Areas of standing water after heavy rainfall.
No mains gas supply or sewerage. Electricity from rural network therefore limited capacity.
Adjacent to the Fosse and on the Archaeological Register. Recent pottery finds recorded. Site of a toll dating back to medieval times. adjacent to protected ancient woodland and surrounded by farmland.
Prominent when approached from any direction. Cannot be hidden. Any activities undertaken will be difficult to integrate into the landscape.
Will dominate the local community who would be overwhelmed by a community with different living and life styles.
Already impacting on bookings for Warwickshire Exhibition Centre. If forced to close some forty jobs would be lost. This seems madness and not a good example of peaceful and integrated co-existence.

Would have a long-term detrimental effect on the existing local communities, economy and environment.
Would add further pressure to local services eg schools and doctors, pushing them beyond capacity and impacting on overall effectiveness. Will also create additional traffic.
The Fosse Way is historical, the surrounding countryside and woodlands are important but site would have a significantly negative visual impact on them and natural inhabitants.
Would result in the closure of Warwickshire Exhibition Centre. Counter-intuitive to force closure of an independent business employing local individuals.

Harbury school is already oversubscribed.
There is no suitable surgery available.
Increased traffic will make the area less safe.
The land has historic and natural significance which would be adversely affected by any development.
The visual image of the landscape would be affected dramatically.
The local population of 120 would be 'absorbed'.
Local infrastructure and services would not meet the need.

Inappropriate given proposed closure of Warwickshire Exhibition Centre (contributes £2m p.a. to local economy) if site goes ahead.
On a high-risk travel route (over 12 serious accidents in 3 years). no path or pavement for pedestrians and cycling would be dangerous.
No spare capacity at nearest GP surgery. Next nearest is nearly 5 miles away with no direct bus service. Local primary school almost at capacity.
Visual impact on valley gateway to Leamington. site on archaeological register and next to major Roman road.

The Fosse Way is extremely busy route. Difficult to cross the Bendigo-Mitchell crossroads especially at peak times. Have been many casualties here in recent years.
No suitable pedestrian pavements or bus stops, so difficult to get to Leamington or Warwick without own transport.
Has been severe flooding in fields alongside the Fosse Way, so can be impassable from the Fosse Way roundabout on the Leamington-Southam road up to Leamington FC grounds.
Has no access to services so a potential safety threat at night-time. Lack of sanitation would pose a health problem
Schooling and G.P. services are stretched, so would have to use those in nearby towns.
This site has too many obstacles and costs to overcome.

It will cause financial damage to property values in the area. Will compensation be paid to affected owners?
Object to use of council funds to provide facilities for people who pay no tax and do not contribute in any way to the local area. Will my council tax be reduced?
What is the justification for this action?
