GT02 Land abutting the Fosse Way close to A425 junction

If sited on the exhibition site it would eliminate the business which employs 40 people and contributes £2 million annually to the local economy. The identification of the site has already led to the loss of future bookings. Location is subject to water drainage problems. Ecological concerns particularly due to the effect that uncontrolled and unvaccinated dogs would have on wildlife and farm animals. Concern over possible contamination on local fresh food production. Potential for existence of archaeological assets from previous Roman occupation. Unlikely a site of the size proposed could be accomodated given the traffic issues. It is suggested that the site has easy access to the town, good bus services, convenient pathways however the bus stop is on the grass verge with no footpaths along the busy road. Would result in considerable infrastructure costs and acquisition of more land. Nearest doctors surgery is full.
Should take into account the historical context of the village in considering the local character as it is considered a gypsy and traveller site would cause an adverse impact. These observations contain the main substance of the strongly held views of approximately 400 people attending the public meeting on 25th July.

Site is adjacent to the main birmingham to london railway line which poses a potential hazard. Small stream which is a tributary from the River leam has been subject to flooding. It is a fully developed site quite unsuitable for a gypsy and traveller site.
