One of the proposed sites on the list for consideration is:
Kites Nest Lane,
Hatton,
Warwick
May I firstly ask why this site is deemed suitable for consideration?
It is a field that used to contain horses and the then owner was asked to remove the horses as the field was and is susceptible to flooding. The proposed site is in an established green belt area and is of outstanding natural beauty. Enjoyed by large numbers of walkers, cyclists and public in general. This site has already been subject to planning applications and two appeals, one of which resulted in a planning refusal.
On these grounds I absolutely object to the site appearing on the list of land being considered for traveller occupation. It is patently not suitable for the reasons outlined.
I object totally against the proposal for Kites Nest Lane, Hatton as a traveller site.
