This site is often subject to surface water flooding and run-off issues in the north west corner, which also floods the road junction between Mallory Road and the B4100.
This road junction also has a high incidence of traffic accidents with 9 occurring in the period 2005-2012. A further 12 incidents have occurred within a 500m stretch in the same period, one of which was fatal. A traveler site at this location with slow moving vans and trailers will increase the risk of traffic accidents on this stretch of road, especially with the increased traffic flow heading to and from the Jaguar Landrover site at Gaydon.
The local primary school is full and could not accommodate the additional children without breaking class size limits. The local school is also a Church of England school and the nearest Catholic school is many miles away.
