Caravans would not blend in with houses and the architecture of the village and would harm the landscape character.
Locating the site close to a sought after location near the River Avon makes a mockery of the planning system. Also the site is in danger of flooding and so expensive measures would be needed to prevent this happening.
Gypsy/Traveller community unlikely to want to integrate into the local community. Better that they are located near to towns where this is more likely and facilities are close by.
Barford has no doctors' surgery, the school is full and public transport links are poor.
Major infrastructure/utilities would be necessary to service the site.
Site access is via a busy and fast bypass with no pedestrian access. Adding additional traffic would be dangerous and require expensive engineering solutions to overcome the problem. The bypass would create noise disturbance for site residents.
