Representation Summary:

Concerned about impact on local school.
There is no doctors' surgery.
The bus route just about adequate for the village but is not a regular service.
Proposals don't consider the environment, size of the area or current level of amenities.
Horrified Smiths Nurseries a small hardworking local company will lose their land to the travellers.

I have severe reservations particularly over the proposed housing and also the Gypsy and Traveller site. My main concern is where will the children go to school. There are no doctors and the bus route...
although just about adequate for the size of the village is not a regular service.
In my opinion Baginton is a village and for some reason the local planner seem to think it is ok to throw more and more proposals without considering the environment ... size of the area... and the amenities that are here at the present time.

I am also horrified to hear that a local... small and hardworking company... Smiths Nurseries is expected to give up part of their land so that travellers can take over what is not theres to take!
