Gypsy and Traveller Site Options
Representation ID: 59493
Received: 29/07/2013
Respondent: Mrs Miranda Baker
Representation Summary:
Sites would not blend in with architecture and pattern of development of Barford.
Allocating desirable land for this use makes a mockery of the planning system.
Impossible to integrate sites into the landscape.
Gypsies/travellers by their very nature are not pre-disposed to integrate with the settled community.
Barford does not have a doctors surgery, has poor public transport and few employment opportunities. Site would place additional strains on local school.
Site is in danger of flooding unless expensive preventative measures are undertaken.
Utilities not available.
Access onto the road network would be dangerous.
No footpaths for pedestrians.
