Unattractive vista at entrance to village. Sites often used as work base which could be noisy close to village.
GP surgery only part time.
Local schools oversubscribed and none of proposed new schools has pp.
New houses would not be bought close to site.
Owner will not sell so would have to be compulsorily purchased.
As a resident of Bishops Tachbrook I must oppose the site at Tachbrook Hill Farm that may be used as a
traveller site.The site
is situated right at the entrance to the village making a very unattractive vista
approaching the village.The site is too close to the village, traveller sites are often also used as a work
base which could be very
noisy.this could also mean lorries entering and exiting what is already a busy and
sometimes dangerous junction.The doctors surgery here is only a small branch surgery that is only open part
time and local schools are already over subscribed,although it was stated that three new schools are being
built to my knowledge none of the sites have yet got planning permission.Houses that are on the Local Plans
favoured sites runs next to the farm field and would doubtless prevent people buying these houses.a rep.from
Blor said
they would object to a traveller site.On top of everything else the owner of said land would not
sell so this would have to be done by compulsory purchase!
