I would like to object to this site being on the reserve list. This site is not suitable as although it is close to local facilities, none of these have capacity. The very close nature of this site to local established houses is not acceptable. The schools cannot cope with current demand and especially not more. The local doctors is not suitable. The location of this site on one of the main entrances to Warwick would be an unsightly first view of this historic town. This area already has a hard standing area used by travellers as well as the nearby car park being used for travelling fairs and circuses. The road is dangerous and i witnessed Travelling children running backwards and forwards across this busy road recently. The land gets very wet and is a run off for rain water. Use of this land would be unsuitable or cause potential for local flooding when concreted over. This site cannot be integrated without harming the area character. There is a high chance of noise disturbance. I understand the land is owned by Henrys trust and as a large charity donor locally, including large grant to the local community centre, I would not like to see them disadvantaged due to the support they provide. With the huge amount of houses being built in Warwick this is just another overloading element. The location of this site next to the racecourse is a hazzard from dogs and horses and would also put local walkers off using our public land. Finally the road is not only dangerous for pedestrians but would also be unsuitable for turning vehicles and I would be requesting the council to build the roundabout at Chase Meadow junction that was deemed not required.
