GTalt01 Brookside Willows, Banbury Road (green)

Representation ID: 64460

Received: 01/05/2014

Respondent: Save Warwick

Representation Summary:

According the Environment Agency landfill database, this site has previously accepted material which is likely to be contaminated, and has received Special Waste which has hazardous properties that may be "flammable, irritant, toxic, harmful, carcinogenic or corrosive". For this reason alone, the site is not suitable for human habitation even on a temporary basis.
The Council have previously indicated that the site would not be considered because of its previous use and it is irrational for the council to change its mind.

Banbury Road is one of the most important routes into Warwick town centre, and has been recognised by the Council and English Heritage. What message would it sent to have a gypsy and traveller site located in such a prominent position, in an area of considerable landscape and heritage importance? It seems an irrational proposal in the light of the council's decision to preserve the adjoining area free of development.
