Gypsy and Traveller Site Options
Representation ID: 55709
Received: 26/07/2013
Respondent: Stephen Asplin
Baginton will be totally dominated. Current services insufficient to support this proposal.
Increase in school places cannot be supported as local children already get bused to another school.
Will severely affect property prices.
With the Coventry and Warwickshire gateway development & Toll Bar Island development this will be excessive development in this area and will create even more traffic congestion.
Road not large enough to support the increased traffic of large vehicles and so constitutes a health and safety hazard.
To whom it may concern
Dear Sirs,
Re: Objection to above proposal reference GT-07 - Smiths Nurseries
I understand you are proposing to build a Gypsies and Traveller site in Baginton.
I must strongly object to this proposal on the following Grounds:-
1. Baginton is a small village and will be totally dominated by this proposal, as the current services are not sufficient to support this proposal.
2. There will be significant increase in children requiring school places at a school that cannot support the present number children who live in Baginton, &nbs! p;
people currently have to bus their children to another school now.
3. The mere presence of this site will severely affect property prices in Baginton, Finham and surrounding areas.
4. When the Coventry and Warwickshire gateway development gets off the ground this will be excessive development in this area, not to mention the
disruption we will have when the Toll Bar Island development goes through as well; this will create even more traffic congestion.
5. The road which passes Smiths Nurseries is not large enough to support the increased traffic of large vehicles, this constitutes a health and safety hazard.
I URGENTLY await you confirmation of cancellation of this proposal.
