Preferred Options for Sites

Representation ID: 64115

Received: 03/05/2014

Respondent: Mr. Roy Drew

Representation Summary:

Not suitable. Not owned by the Council, so compulsory purchase would be needed, which could have adverse impact on the farm's viability as a business. Access to the site would make an already dangerous junction (Mallory Road and Banbury road was the site of a fatal road accident) even worse. There could be adverse effects on the Guide Dogs Centre and Oakley Wood. There is no pedestrian access and local facilities (school and Surgery in Bishop's Tachbrook) are already oversubscribed. Adverse visual impact and high noise level from M40 add to site's unsuitability.
