I feel this site is totally inappropriate for this use as the 2 adjacent roads are not safe for access to the site. The A452 Warwick/Banbury road has poor visibility from both directions, fast approaching traffic from both directions and has been the cause of many accidents at Mallory Road junction over the years, some fatal. Mallory road again has poor visibility along that stretch, being on a slight bend, would be to narrow for long vehicle access and again is subject to fast traffic both entering and leaving the village. There is also no safe pedestrian access to the village as Mallory road is unsafe to walk on on foot at certain times of the day. I have to children both of whom had to walk on the roadside to school and both have been hit by car wing mirrors and both have had to dive for the hedge to save being hit by vehicles not repecting pedestrians.
The site has no infrastructure for any of the three mains services, we are on the edge of the village and are still using a cesspool system.
The village school is not large enough to support the needs of the extra children without even more expansion to the site it stands on.
I am also completely against the use of compulsory purchase which has no benefit to the whole community ie. education, health or other necessary infrastructure, as this is the only use compulsory purchase should be used and I would question the legallity of its use in this case.
