This site is in excess of 1.5 miles from any GP surgery but local surgeries are full.
Harbury Primary School is full. Schools in Whitnash (2+ miles away) have only limited capacity.
There is a bus stop on Harbury Lane but there is no pedestrian links from it to the potential site. Travelling community unlikely to use public transport.
The area is prone to flooding and is effectively a flood plain. The Middle Road/Fosse Way junction is often flooded and Harbury Lane flooded and impassable.
Site will generate additional traffic movements at the junction of two major roads. Highway improvements would be necessary (creating more urbanisation) but will still add to existing peak time delays so maybe unwise to introduce more traffic here. Fosse Way is a designated High Risk Route by the County Council. More than 12 Serious Accidents at this junction over the last 3 years.
The Fosse Way is a very busy main road, generating both noise and disturbance to the site as will the Birmingham to London Chiltern railway line, which is also a potential danger.
The proposed site has no mains sewerage, drainage or gas and electricity supply is a limited rural line which would need upgrading. Site is too far from the Whitnash Telephone Exchange to provide an adequate telephone or internet service and does not have a reliable mobile phone service.
Site is near the Fosse Way's original alignment so archaeological remains are likely to be destroyed by the development, especially as remains from nearby 17 century tollhouse have been found in the area. Therefore important that archaeology and heritage of the area can be recovered and safeguarded prior to any site works. Site would blight views from Grade 1 Listed Chesterton Mill ss site is visible from Chesterton Hill.
The proposed site is larger than New Windmill Football Ground and will cover 0.8 hectare (8000 m²) and could possibly increase in size. The site is at the bottom of the valley so not possible to integrate this use into the landscape without harming the visual appearance and character of the area. It could be a precedent for further ribbon development.
The villages of Harbury and Whitnash over 1.5 miles away. The very small community of houses within half a mile of the site would be absorbed by the 120 travelling community so the site will not promote peaceful and integrated co-existence.
Many businesses (including farms, fencing contractor, pony riding, a hotel, a breakers yard) that operate from this site and the surrounding area will potentially suffer if the proposed sites go ahead.
Unauthorised intrusion from the site occupiers onto the agricultural land could result in contractors not wishing to risk tractors and equipment and any crop damage and rubbish deposits could result in land ceasing to be farmed and becoming unsightly.
The proposed site will be a major invasion into the openness of the countryside and will be an irreversible urbanisation of the entire area.

Does not comply with criteria.

No convenient access to surgery, schools or public transport. Dangerous access and roads with history of accidents and requirement of a speed camera. Use of vehicles or public transport a necessity and no school transport. No bus stops and provision would be unsafe. No footways and cycling dangerous. Children waiting for school transport would be at risk.
Close to railway line with poor security; risk to children.
Doctors surgery has no capacity; likewise schools. Does not comply with policy.
Area prone to flooding. Livestock has to be moved out of fields and Middle Road/Fosse Way junction and Harbury Lane often flood and impassable.
No mains gas, sewerage or drainage; provision adds to cost of development. Electric supply a potential problem. No reliable mobile phone service. Infrastructure very poor; considerable investment needed.
Area of good quality farmland.
Use of raised land (above floodable) would not integrate in landscape. Spoil views from Chesterton Windmill (Listed Building and landmark - see Council website) and Fosse Way - historic sites not mentioned in report, but should be considered.
Rural location with limited number of houses. 15 pitches would outnumber existing residents and 3 would not be a cost effective option; policy seeks to ensure no dominance. Potential for sheep/dog conflict.
Local businesses (listed) could suffer.
Enfusion Report and assessments flawed on economy; sustainable transport (acknowledge lack of information); reduced need to travel; use of natural resources; natural environment and landscape; historic environment; local services and community facilities; health and well-being; poverty and social exclusion - suggest reclassifications.
Suggests reasons why G & T would not wish to locate at site: smell from chicken farm and potential bird flu; railway noise; proximity to railway and risk to children; dangerous roads; lack of footways for safe walking; cycling unsafe; flood risk; lack of local amenities; limited telephone, mobile or internet access; conflict between dogs and farming.

The farmers need the land to deliver their produce. Thre is high unemployment in the locality , so where will the Gand T families find work??

Amenity of neighbours would be intolerable if travellers undertake work (breaking cars etc.) from the site. If animals aren't inoculated it will be dangerous for local dogs and people.

School places for traveller children would deny local children to attend school. Recent experience suggests travellers can be abusive and anti-social. A pleasant and peaceful area will be destroyed if the local site goes ahead.

This site is in excess of 1.5 miles from any GP surgery but local surgeries are full.
Harbury Primary School is full. Schools in Whitnash (2+ miles away) have only limited capacity.
There is a bus stop on Harbury Lane but there is no pedestrian links from it to the potential site. Travelling community unlikely to use public transport.
The area is prone to flooding and is effectively a flood plain. The Middle Road/Fosse Way junction is often flooded and Harbury Lane flooded and impassable.
Site will generate additional traffic movements at the junction of two major roads. Highway improvements would be necessary (creating more urbanisation) but will still add to existing peak time delays so maybe unwise to introduce more traffic here. Fosse Way is a designated High Risk Route by the County Council. More than 12 Serious Accidents at this junction over the last 3 years.
The Fosse Way is a very busy main road, generating both noise and disturbance to the site as will the Birmingham to London Chiltern railway line, which is also a potential danger.
The proposed site has no mains sewerage, drainage or gas and electricity supply is a limited rural line which would need upgrading. Site is too far from the Whitnash Telephone Exchange to provide an adequate telephone or internet service and does not have a reliable mobile phone service.
Site is near the Fosse Way's original alignment so archaeological remains are likely to be destroyed by the development, especially as remains from nearby 17 century tollhouse have been found in the area. Therefore important that archaeology and heritage of the area can be recovered and safeguarded prior to any site works. Site would blight views from Grade 1 Listed Chesterton Mill ss site is visible from Chesterton Hill.
The proposed site is larger than New Windmill Football Ground and will cover 0.8 hectare (8000 m²) and could possibly increase in size. The site is at the bottom of the valley so not possible to integrate this use into the landscape without harming the visual appearance and character of the area. It could be a precedent for further ribbon development.

Site not suitable. Nearest medical facility is Harbury where surgery is struggling to cope with demand. No suitable medical facilities close to site.
Harbury school oversubscribed. No suitable education facilities close to site.
No footways adding to accident risk. Not on public transport networks.
Site on busy main road. 60mph and recent history of accidents including fatalities. Adding traffic would increase risk especially if slow moving eg caravans/trailers. No safe access to road network.
Parts on flood maps and at risk of flooding.
Detrimental impact on historic landscape (Roman Fort and iconic windmill adjacent)
Would place considerable strain on local resources and facilities. Impact largely on neighbouring District or Stratford.

Planning Policy for Traveller Sites states new sites should be limited in open countryside away from settlements. The DCLG Good Practice Guide advises sites should be developed near to housing as part of mainstream residential developments. The NPPF refers to rural exception sites to address needs of local community with either current residents, or existing connection; question if proposed occupants comply.
Site outside Harbury surgery catchment and Warwick Gates 2 mls away. Outside school catchment area and Whitnash has capacity limitations. Public transport is limited - will increase reliance on private vehicles and against sustainability.
Area of high risk of flooding on site and Harbury Lane. Additional traffic will inflate problems.
Large intensive broiler site sited so as to avoid smell and noise nuisance has number of traffic movements at night and 24hr heating and ventilation systems. Odour generation would affect site .
Also large industrial area with reclamation and scrap yard that can lead to noise.
No mains sewerage, drainage, gas or water supply - would require significant infrastructure.
Close to The Fosse with visual impact including light pollution on Grade I Listed Building (windmill) and Chesterton Hill and rural environment. Would need to be considerable landscaping to hide from public view.
Hard to achieve peaceful and integrated co-existence: villages over 2 mls away.
Very limited infrastructure with capacity concerns at surgeries and schools. No street lighting poses risk for walking/cycling; no footways or cycle paths.
Perceptions of travellers' site could be detrimental to operation of existing businesses - negative comments already received.
Loss of agricultural land

To the best of my knowledge, there has neen no consultation relating to the development of this site with GT communities/residents.
Unable to understand how the site fits the criteria.
GP surgery full.
School has limited capacity.
Public transport available but no pedestrian links to bus stop . Has issue of pedestrian safety been addressed?
On junction of two major roads, one of which, the Fosse Way, is high risk route. Peak time delays.
There is no mains sewerage, gas or drainage.
Impact on Roman road and historic woodlands.
Site is at bottom of valley and is visible from many angles.
No opportunity for potential occupants and local residents to be made aware of hopes and needs of the other, seeds of doubt and misunderstanding have already been sown.
Appears to be need for considerable expenditure to provide facilities and services.
With limited information, remain opposed to the proposal.y
