BASE HEADER

I am writing to lodge an objection to the proposal for a travellers site GT03 off Harbury Lane. I do not believe that this land meets the local authority policy criteria:



** Convenient access to a GP surgery, school, and public transport;



The nearest doctors surgery in Harbury has no capacity for the level of additional patients that will need access to a GP surgery.



The local primary and secondary schools are already at capacity.



Although there are bus services that pass this site there is no real
safe means of the buses stopping in this location due to the high level
of traffic on Harbury Lane. Any off road bus stops would require the
use and crossing of an unpaved very busy road that already has a
significant accident record.



** Safe access to the road network and provision for parking, turning
and servicing on site;



This area is near the Fosse Way high risk travel route with more than

12 serious incidents in the last 3 years.



** Avoiding areas where there is the potential for noise and other

disturbance;



The proposed site will have a visual impact from Harbury, from Harbury
Lane and from the

Fosse Way.



** Provision of utilities (running water, toilet facilities, waste

disposal, etc);



The proposed site has no mains gas, mains sewerage or drainage.



** Avoiding areas where there could be adverse impact on important

features of the natural and historic environment;



The are is near the historic Chesterton site



** Sites which can be integrated into the landscape without harming
the

character of the area



The site will have a visual impact from Harbury and the Fosse Way and
Harbury Lane.
