Respondent: Mr David Willetts

Representation Summary:

Baginton being eroded with too many projects. It's a community and the facilities will not cope.

No schools in Baginton for the children.

Will have an adverse effect on the perception of village.

Site's size is totally disproportionate to the size of Baginton.

Traffic calming on Coventry road and Mill Hill is totally ineffective. Site will make Baginton's traffic situation unbearable.

I wish to make my objections known regarding the above proposed site.
1.The VILLAGE of Baginton is slowly becoming eroded away with too many projects being proposed such as Coventry and Warwickshire Gateway, Plymouth Bretheran School and now this . Baginton is too small a community and the facilities will not cope.

2.There are no schools in Baginton to take the increase in children.

3. The link between gypsy/ traveller sites is a debatable subject, but it's perception will have an adverse effect on the perception of this green belt village.

4. The size of the proposed site is totally disproportionate for the size of the village.

5. Once again, the subject of traffic is high on the agenda. Coventry road and Mill Hill have already become a rat run for people working on Siskin Drive. With totally ineffective traffic calming devices that have recently been put on to these roads, the extra traffic that this site will produce will make Baginton's traffic situation unbearable.

I hope these, and other peoples points of view, will be taken into consideration when a decision is being made.
