Representation Summary:

Site >1.5miles from GP surgery. Nearest 3 miles away and is full.
Outside catchment for Harbury School. Schools in Whitnash have limited capacity.
Public transport satisfactory but irrelevant as residents unlikely to use, No pedestrian link to bus stop on Harbury Lane.
Area prone to flooding, including Harbury Lane.
Highway improvements may be needed to accommodate more vehicular movements and Fosse Way is high risk route with fast traffic.
Road is noisy.
No mains sewerage, drainage or gas. Rural electricity line which may need upgrading.
Mediocre mobile phone service. Intermittent internet service.
Roman road whith archaeological remains. Tollhouse nearly where remains found.
Area would be larger than Barnwell Farm and could increase if business land added. Could not be integrated into the landscape without harming visual appearance and character.
Two existing communities: one close to site and one at bigger communities at Harbury and Whitnash. New residents would absorb exising along Fosse Way.
Local businesses may suffer.
Rural urbanisation.
Loss of quality farmland.
