Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 59098

Received: 23/07/2013

Respondent: Mr Dave McNamara

Representation Summary:

Access onto a very busy major road, no pedestrian access. Potential visual impact on the approach to historic Warwick, putting off tourists.
Site too remote from major centres.
Undue pressure on infrastructure and services. School in Bishops Tachbrook single form entry and wouldn't be able to cope with even a small G & T site. Would be wrong to push out existing children with ties to the community.

I am objecting to the gypsy sites surrounding the bishops tachbrook area.

Site 3. Very remote from major amenities
Site 4 Very remote from major amenities
Site 5. Access onto a very busy road, no pedestrian access. Potential visual impact on the approach to historic Warwick, putting off tourists.
Site 6. Very remote from main centres and no pedestrian access.
Site 9. Access onto a very busy main road, no pedestrian access. Potential visual impact to approach to historic Warwick, putting off tourists.
Site 10. Close to guide dogs for the blind national breeding centre.
Site 15. Site located on the banks of the tachbrook, so possible contamination if site used for business.

General considerations.

Remoteness. Are the sites identified in bishops tachbrook parish are too remote from the major centres to be suitable for this type of development.
Access. All sites are on very major roads with no pedestrian access.
Undue pressure on infrastructure and services. The school in bishops tachbrook is a single form entry. Even small gypsy sites could have many children that the school wouldn't be able to cope with. Are children that are local to the area with ties to the community such as mine who attends the preschool and the church, to be pushed out for gypsy site children that have no such ties to the community? this seems extremely unfair and totally wrong.
