I deeply object to the Birmingham Road site being considered as a suitable site. Your argument as to why this site is suitable has many flaws. You mention that the site is currently used by the Camping and Caravan Club, and your proposal would see less traffic. I disagree. The proposed site is actually rarely used and 99% of the time is empty. How can you therefore compare the amount of traffic now to what it might be? There is also an ongoing proposal to build more housing and to develop the Hatton Park estate further. The plans for this development would be using the Ugly Bridge Road access point as the entrance - directly opposite this proposed site. Both cannot use the same entrance point without having a serious impact on Birmingham Road, which between 8 - 9 everyday is gridlocked. The impact on the environment and historic/natural interest of the area would be enormous. You mention how you would need to increase the habitat buffer between the water and the site. The cost that Warwick DC spend on marketing this stretch of canal on an annual basis must be considerable and I question how allowing a site to develop in this location would encourage more people to visit. This area is of great natural beauty and attracts both local walkers and tourists and I am not sure how you are protecting this by allowing a site with no regulation to develop in this location. You also state that there must be an opportunity for peaceful intergration into the local community. As of this morning, 26/3/14, there were 2 illegal caravans, parked on the extension of Ugly Bridge Road, leading into Hatton Park. I notice the gate to stop general access has been opened without consent and they are currently camped illegally. Your intention to create only 5 sites in this area is naive and can only see this event happening more, as more are attracted to the area on the understanding a site is available.
