Respondent: Mr Jeff Porter

Representation Summary:

Birmingham Road is fast road, and extra traffic would negativity effect the road's flow and safety.
The site is to be located between a canal and a busy road, surely the safety of the children could be at risk?
Local school system is already under pressure and suffering very poor results, an influx of children that require a 'bit' more attention will not help.
Site is located opposite proposed development of new houses. Although I'm not sure how the developer will feel about this, this extra load on the local services (road/schools/power/water/etc) will not help the situation. Extra noise and light pollution will effect the new houses opposite.

I would to lodge my objections to the proposed traveler site on Birmingham Road (reference GT19).
The Birmingham Road is fast road, and I feel the extra traffic would negativity effect the road's flow and safety.
The site is to be located between a National trust canal and a busy road, surely the safety of the children could be at risk?
Has the National Trust been consulted on environmental effects this could have to the popular site?
The local school system is already under pressure and suffering very poor results, an influx of children that require a 'bit' more attention will not help this situation, presuming no extra funding is provided for permanent TA support in each class..
The site is located opposite a proposed development of up to 300 new houses. Although I'm not sure how the developer will feel about this, this extra load on the local services (road/schools/power/water/etc) will not help the situation. Will the developer be forced to improve the facilitates for the traveler community as well?
Has consideration be given to the extra noise and light pollution that will effect the new houses opposite? (dogs and generators & rubbish burning etc).
Thank you for taking the time to read this
