Land belows level of road and would require considerable engineering to provide access for caravans and waste collection vehicles. Traffic does not always obey the speed limit.
Proximity of river creates possibility of pollution at some time.
Site is immediately adjacent to the river and has been subject to flooding. Water table must be close to the surface and therefore not a healthy place for people to live, without extensive building work being undertaken to screen sites from moisture.
Access poor to Barford village. To cross A429 would be unsafe for children unless traffic light controlled crossing installed which would require reduction of speed limit on by-pass.
