Preferred Options for Sites

Representation ID: 63862

Received: 01/04/2014

Respondent: Gary & Bridget Edwards

Representation Summary:

Sites held privately may be looked after better than those camped on illegally.
Presumptuous to assume new schools will be provided as this is not a done deal.

Full text:

we are against these sites in their entirety, and I would like to question some of those responses, and in particular, as to why the council haven't seen fit to provide a presentation for Warwick Gates? We do not live at Chase Meadow, as suggested, and this is not a suburb of Bishops Tachbrook.

The case you so eloquently make would suggest we should have a presentation?

I personally, and please don't take offence, do not understand why a senior council planner, who doesn't come from this area, presides over answering objections to a LOCAL plan? I will be contacting my local councillor, if only to ask that.

It is good to know that these sites will be owned by those residing there. They may just look after them better than the areas they camp on illegally.

The Council website, which you refer to, for preferred option 15 for gypsies and travellers suggested that these travellers could have access to future locally sited schools, a little presumptuous don't you think? Any build in this area is not, to my knowledge, a done deal, is it? So how safe is the information on this site? Given the current "LOCAL PLAN" situation, I feel a little more sensitivity, when responding to general local concerns, would go a long way (thanks for pointing out my numbering mistake in my first correspondence).

I believe you were correct, I don't think you should have responded to item 6. The fact that you are not from this area gives you no forum to air your views over our local concerns but I will take your, unsupported, comments on board.

I will be contacting my council representative to place my objections but funnily enough that is what I thought this process was for?
