Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 57111

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Mr James Cook

Representation Summary:

Site is on a busy and dangerous road making any new access dangerous for vehicles and pedestrians. Personal experience of getting out of own driveway onto this road is testament to the dangers. Previous proposals for this site have been rejected in part because of the highway safety concerns.
Will have an adverse visual impact and detrimental to the image of Warwick for visitors/tourists. It is also likely to have an adverse impact on the amenity and appearance of the canal, which is also detrimental to the area and tourism.
Infrastructure isn't available to support the site: Hampton Magna school is full, only one shop in the village, doctors' surgery will not be able to cope.
Site would be vulnerable to flooding.
Living close to a petrol station would adversely impact on health of gypsies and travellers.
Five pitches does not mean just five families would could substantially change the demographic of the area.
