Object to proposed sites close to Chase Meadow.
House prices will fall/houses will become hard to sell as has happened in other areas where traveller sites are located eg 3+ acre plot of land in Pathlow, Stratford upon Avon which has not sold despite reduced price for over two years.
The view into Warwick from Calverdon direction will be negatively affected which could affect tourism.
Local doctors' surgery is very busy and Chase Meadow is expanding. Will it be able to cope with additional families?
Can you confirm how much Council Tax traveller site families will pay and if this will be consistent with other residents?
Hi:
I am very much against the proposal for Gypsy and traveller sites in Warwickshire, in particular close to Chase Meadow, for the reasons sighted below:
1. House prices will fall / houses will become hard to sell, this is notable from looking at some national statistics where traveller sites are located, just look at the 3+ acre plot of land in Pathlow Stratford upon Avon, this plot has planning permission, however as it's located near a traveller site it's been on the marker over two years at a reduced price, elsewhere this would have commanded twice the asking price.
2. It will be detrimental to the incoming view of Warwick when coming in from Calverdon direction, this could affect local tourism.
3. The local doctors surgery in Warwick is very busy already, will it be able to cope with additional families, don't forget the Chase meadow is expanding.
4. finally, can you please confirm how much council tax the traveller site families will pay? will this be in accordance with other residence that utilise the services in Warwickshire.
