Dear Sir / Madam:

I am writing to express my objections to the suggestions contained within the New Local Plan, specifically the proposals in respect of provision for Gipsy and Traveller sites within the Warwick area.

Following extensive development in the local area over the past decade particularly in the Chase Meadow area a huge burden has already been placed on the local infrastructure and amenities.

The Chase Meadow estate with the current and planned future development will place a further burden on the local schools, doctors, roads and recreational / social facilities which already struggles to cope.

There is currently already a 3-4 day lead time at the Doctors surgery without the currently planned development which would only be further exacerbated by the locating of Gypsy and Traveller sites in close proximity to this estate.

Another major concern for those resident in the surrounding area as well as for those who plan to reside there themselves should be the potential impact that the location of hard standing could have on the flood plain.

Further excavation can only increase the risk of flooding in the surrounding area including the land bordering the proposed location owned by the race course.

The racecourse provides significant income to the surrounding areas and business's through it's many events as well as providing much needed employment opportunities.

The loss of a race meeting due to flooding could have negative long term effects on the local economy and in addition the local residents.

I do hope that the views of the Warwick population are considered seriously during this review that the historical town of Warwick can continue to be the wonderful place it is to live and raise families.
