Totally unreasonable considering the size of the site and small size of Baginton. Represents significant increase in population without any increase in local facilities. Existing village children cannot access their first choice of school without the number of children increasing.
It would decimate property values.
Already three sites within 2 miles of Baginton.
From previous experience crime would increase.
Gypsy & Traveller Site Proposed in Baginton
Reference GT-07-smiths nurseries
I feel that this is a totally unreasonable proposal considering the size of the site and the relatively small size
of the village of Baginton.
1 It would mean a very significant increase in the total number of inhabitants without any increase in the
local facilities.
2 It would also mean a large increase in the number of children of school age with many existing village
children being unable to obtain access to their first choice of school.
3 With such a large site located within a small village it would decimate property values.
4 I believe that there are already at least three sites available within about 2 miles of the village of Baginton.
5 From experiences elsewhere it would, inevitably, result in an increase in local crime.
