This area is opposite Castle Park, therefore a traveller site in this location will visually adversely affect the historic centre of Warwick. Also of concern is the historic approach to Warwick, the appearance and atmosphere of which would be significantly compromised should this site be used. Traffic on Banbury Road is very busy at rush hour, and adding to this traffic flow would be highly inadvisable. While the 'pedestrian access' to Warwick is mentioned in this proposal, this access is in fact limited to a very narrow path adjacent to a very busy road. Pollution of the watercourse at Tach Brook would be a concern also as there is no mains sewage to this site. Overall I believe the development of this site as a traveller site would be highly detrimental to he local area and an inappropriate placement of is facility.
