Respondent: Tracey Latto

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, Middle Road and Fosse Way.
Highway improvements may be needed to accommodate more vehicular movements and Fosse Way is high risk route with fast traffic.
Road is noisy and site adjacent to railway with noise and danger.
No mains sewerage, drainage or gas. Rural electricity line which may need upgrading.
Mediocre mobile phone service. Intermittent internet service due to distance from exchange.
Roman road with archaeological remains. Tollhouse nearly where remains found.
Area would be larger than New Windmill football ground 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.
Would create ribbon development.
