Further to visiting the public drop in session & exhibition at the Bishops Tachbrook Sports & Social Club concerning the proposed sites for gypsy & travellers, we would like to object to the following suggested site - GT05.

Our main reasons for objection are -

1. Village's infrastructure unsuitable to cater for further increased population.
2. Road network at proposed site already dangerous & increased traffic onto the Banbury Road
would cause further increased hazards.
3. Appearance of the village & it's local area would be severely altered.
4. Potential increase to crime rates in the village, which is currently very low.
5. Effect of such a site to local house prices (Internet research shows that there is a negative
impact to home valuations when traveller sites are situated nearby).
6. Effect of such a site to local home insurance premiums (Internet research shows that there is
an increase to insurance costs when traveller sites are situated nearby).

From the Preferred Options list, we would like to suggest the following site preferable - GTalt01.

As detailed, this site already has planning permission for a potential caravan site.
This site is situated between Bishops Tachbrook, Barford and Warwick (thus having a less severe impact on any of the individual communities).
It is also near local amenities without causing too much disruption to any the local population.

We hope you can appreciate our points and concerns. We look forward to hearing from you.
