This is NOT a suitable site.
It is green belt agriculture land which is used for farming. Compulsory purchase order should not be used for this purpose.
Bishops Tachbrook school is oversubscribed and at capacity. This would place massive strain on a small single form entry school to accept a large number of children.
There is no footpath to allow the gypsy/traveller children to safely walk to the school.
There is no infrastructure and no scope to add electric/gas/water facilities.
The gp surgery is only available a limited number of hours - it is Not a full time gp service. It is currently difficult to obtain appointment with nurse/gp so it again would put large pressure on surgery.
Again there is no footpath to access the surgery.
There are limited facilities in the village - no post office and only 1 small shop.
Limited bus service and nothing on Sunday's.
The road junction is dangerous - numerous fatal collisions have occurred here. It is a busy junction and will become much worse with the expansion of Gaydon/lighthorne Heath announced by Stratford district council.
It is not suitable for large caravans/trucks turning.
This site is also prone to flooding.
This site is visible to visitors to the area coming from the m40. There is no screening.
This site will not be integrated into the local community.
There are no suitable disposal for industrial waste for business use.
The national breeding centre for guide dogs is very close to this site which would be adversely affected by pollutant run off or the presence of unvaccinated animals.
Oakly wood is an ancient,historic woodland which could be affected by pollution run off from industrial pollutants.
The site also suffers from significant noise pollution from the M40 making it a very noisy site.
