1. Use of this land is effectively extending the village envelope and the conservation area - this type of development was never intended to be contained within this area.
2. The current village infrastructure and utility supply does not support this type of development and I believe is on land that is either a floodplain or with high potential for flooding.
3. There is no safe crossing point on the by-pass which allows pedestrian access to the village. Access to the school would need to be by car increasing the already heavy volumes of traffic that use Church Street and High Street at peak times. With residents parked vehicles, these narrow roads are currently unsuitable to cope with the existing through traffic that is using this route as a short-cut.
4. Vehicle access to the site is directly onto the by-pass and is likely to require traffic lights to be constructed. Traffic volumes and speeds will be adversely affected particularly at peak times and Wellesbourne market days.
5. Development will result in loss of farmland and an adverse visual impact on the local environment.
6. The development outside the existing village boundaries (effectively split-off by the by-pass) does not faciltate integration into the community.
