Representation Summary:

The fosse way site is not acceptable as it will put a major local business at threat and negatively impact on other local businesses that rely on these visitors. It is also does not have the infrastructure to support a site of this kind.

The site will have a major negative impact on a thriving local business and employer that attracts thousands of visitors to the area every year. This will have a serious knock-on effect for many hotels, restaurants, shops, taxi firms throughout the leamington region. This can surely can not be justified by the council.

Also, the local school is already full and this situation is being made worse by the new houses that are coming to the village. In addition, as there are no footpaths, children would either have to walk along the main carriageway into Radford Semele or the parents will have to drive them leading to further congestion in the village.

Also, the nearest doctor is in Sydenham - nowhere near this site.

Finally, the Fosse Way is an historic site, along with the nearby ancient woods and must be protected.
