I wish to register an objection to the proposed development of a Gypsy and Traveller site in Baginton. Such a large development is surely inappropriate in a small village and the the present residents will be overwhelmed by the influx of a transient population. It will affect the character of the village, put a strain on local community facilities, the school in particular and could cause difficulties in what is at present a quiet harmonious community.

As a member of Coventry Golf Club, which is adjacent to the site, I am particularly concerned at the visual impact, the possibility of intrusion on to the Golf Course and the possibility of noise and other pollution.

I ask you to reject the application,
