1. Uncertainty over access to local schools. Only school currently identified is not close by and would require travelling through Warwick which is already congested at school run times and will only become more so as current plans for additional housing are rolled out.
2. Beaumont Meadow is now under development, so Chase Meadow amenities will already be increasingly stretched serving the settled population.
3. We remain concerned that ground saturation is likely regardless of what has been done to manage Gog Brook, particularly in light of the additional development and bearing in mind the fact the current roads remain unadopted because of local authority concerns over the adequacy of current flood measures.
4. Hampton Road is a fast road, busy at peak times, and thus unsuitable for people to access local amenities on foot e.g. if crossing to get to Chase Meadow GP Surgery. No parking available along Hampton Road.
5. Potential for disturbance of private houses along Hampton Road ie top of Chase Meadow and Budbrooke Lodge.
6. Uncertainty about being able to link into current sewage system. Also, Chase Meadow Community Centre is currently without mains gas because of problems linking up, indicating utilities have little spare capacity.
7. Would require loss of Gog Brook Local Wildlife site in an area where wild habitat is already disrupted by dog walkers and toy aeroplane enthusiasts.
8. Site occupants might find the proximity of the race course disruptive on race meeting days with the noise of loud speakers and crowds.
9. Likelihood is that site occupants would be those in a situation where they need to be settled for a period rather than in a traditional traveller lifestyle, and therefore more likely to have to travel to required amenities and to work.
10. Site will be subject to acute noise from the A46 as well as significant noise from the Hampton Road.
11. Site is in a dip and therefore air quality is compromised.
