Representation Summary:

Act for owners of Park Farm which is within the site.
Site has pleasant open aspect on main route into Warwick. Site would be detrimental to visual quality of important approach.
If sited some distance within land would require long access road to cut across this attractive swathe of land.
Occupants would be heavily reliant on private transport; 1.5miles from Warwick with no bus stops or footpaths - contrary to principles of sustainability.
Land is in active agricultural use (in contrast with other sites such as GT14, 17 and 18). Priority should be given to previously developed land.
Could conflict with Park and Ride proposals as within same area of search.
Site contains large residential property (contrast with site GT01,03, 08,10, 12, 14, 15, 17,18 and 20 that do not). Preference should be given to sites not containing existing houses to minimise potential loss of amenity to existing occupiers.
Site may be identified for long term housing needs and G & T site might constrain a comprehensive and integrated residential development.
