Site is open arable land with vista from south to north across the river Avon to Sherbourne therefore proposal would not "protect the local amenity and environment".

Planning permission would not be granted for residential development here and plenty of examples of similar sites being refused planning permission. Approving a Travellers site would be discriminatory and unfair.

Site is outside areas allocated for development in the Local Plan,

Would dominate and not respect the interests of the settled community.

There are no public services west of the bypass. A high water table in the area will add complications and cost.

There is no satisfactory access onto the bypass, which is purposely designed for high speed and limited junctions. Slow moving mobile homes/caravans turning off or onto the bypass would be hazardous.

Development proposed for Wellesbourne will increase traffic, especially at peak times,

Westham Lane is not well suited to travellers vehicles.

Hazardous for pedestrians - no pavement or central reservation. pedestrian access to the village for school and buses is poor.

Wholly wrong for site to be located on "the best and most versatile land".

Travellers' dogs represent a danger to livestock owners.
