Full text:

I am the owner of Land at Park Farm,designated GT06 on the proposed sites for Gypsies and Travellers.
In the the past year I have been negotiating the sale of the land at Park Farm.The sale had been agreed
and contracts put in place to be signed last week for completion on July 1st.
The sale is now in jeopardy due to the possibility of sites being chosen at Park Farm.
The financial repercussions of this to myself and my family are immense.
The buyer has voiced his concerns to me about the proposed sites and is concerned about the possibilty
of Park Farm being chosen.
All of the land is grazing land,and as such is utilised by cattle and sheep.
I cannot over estimate my finacial concerns, I have spoken directly to the Warwick District Council and I know that any decisions
on sites will not be made and confirmed until next year,
This.however,is no good to me as I cannot afford to lose the buyer.

Being wholly grazing land my concerns obviously stretch to dog worrying should the land be considered.
The house and buildings at Park Farm were sold in 2006 and are now home to a large non farming family, I am concerned for them also.
