The Tachbrook Hill Farm (GTO5) site is part of Bishops Tachbrook, a village that has very limited local amenities. The doctor's surgery is only part time, has a single shop and a poor bus service.
The high volume of commuter traffic onto the B4100 means access can be very difficult especially with the amount of vehicles travelling to and from JLR. There have already been a number of serious accidents and there are likely to be more due to an increase in traffic flow as forecast by the council.
The visual impact would be detrimental having a gypsy/traveller's site on the entrance to the village. Tachbrook Hill Farm is a listed property and the owner does not want to sell the field next to it for the proposed site. This will mean a compulsory purchase order having to be issued.
The field of the proposed site and the Mallory Road/B4100 junction is also well known for flooding in heavy rain.
