Fails to meet criteria.
Access to surgery and school only possible by car; increasing traffic and congestion.
Site has significant flood risk.
Access onto A429 hazardous. Infrequent gaps (up to 5 mins) in 50mph+ traffic. Recent fatality.
Noise from heavily used road.
No utility services and Barford already at breaking point.
Water voles in area and legally protected. Also bats.
Gateway to the Cotswolds; destroy landscape for locals and visitors.
Fail to promote peaceful and integrated co-existence; strong local objection.
Local infrastructure at breaking point; needs new investment including A429 junctions and local sewers and drains.
Local services, where they exist (such as schools), have no capacity for more.
Unacceptable loss of farmland and rural employment.
Site not available.
