Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 57458

Received: 26/07/2013

Respondent: Joanna Jacobs

Representation Summary:

Local infrastructure (local schools, doctors, surrounding roads and social facilities) unable to support the site. The area has undergone significant development with the Chase Meadow Estate and Tournament Fields Business Park which are placing a burden on the area, roads and the schools.

Would have a dramatic and adverse impact on how the Warwick is viewed and will negatively impact tourism to the local area, particularly the Racecourse, and many local businesses that heavily rely on it for trade.

To whom it may concern,

I wish to make known my objection to the proposed traveller sites for the following reasons;

I believe it to be in direct conflict with the 'Planning Policy for Traveller Sites' the local infrastructure is simply not able to support one or more of these sites, especially the local schools, doctors, surrounding roads and social facilities.

The area of SW Warwick has undergone significant development over the past 10 years with the Chase Meadow Estate and Tournament Fields Business Park. This is already placing an overburden on the area, roads and the schools have/are undergoing extensive works to cater for the increased volumes this brings.

Warwick is the most historical town in Warwickshire. In direct conflict with the 'Planning Policy for Traveller Sites' these sites would have a dramatic and adverse impact on how the town is viewed and will negatively impact Tourism to the local area, particularly the Racecourse, and many local businesses who heavily rely on it for trade.
