Although the site meets several of the Council's criteria for suitability/sustainability in respect of travelling families needs I feel I must object on the following grounds;
1. Local Economy
2. Tourism
3. Co-existence
4. Rural Landscape
5. Agriculture
This is because the Exhibition Centre situated on part of the site attracts many people to the area. It also provides employment opportunities for local people. Sadly I feel its close proximity to the proposed site will adversly effect the numbers visiting.
There would also be a loss of rural/agricultural land needed for food production to meet the increasing demand of a growing population.
