Fosse Way is a High Risk zone with 12 serious accidents in the last 3 years. Site will increase traffic and congestion which is dangerous. A4455/Harbury Lane cross roads is an already heavy used accident black spot.

Bus stop on the Fosse Way and new bus stops will cause significant traffic delays.

No sewerage, drainage or gas.

Harbury's infrastructure (school and doctor's surgery) is severely over capacity.

Area is well known for Sparrow Hawks, a protected species since 1961.

Existing traveller sites can be extended at significantly less cost eg Ryton (Coventry to Southam Road).

Negatively impact Harbury and local services will be severely affected.

Limitations in infrastructure and services means required housing has not been provided in Harbury. Proposed site will make things worse. Policy COM.1 is a tool for rural communities to deliver new housing but traveller site undermines this local housing strategy.
