Planning, environmental and commercial points. Pls read the detail, which is based on fact and contains key references.
I expect to see each of these ROBUSTLY considered addressed in any continuation of the "consultation" process.
1. Due to the existing businesses (Warks exhibition centre) affected by development of site GT02, Compulsory Purchase would incur significant costs due to relocation and loss of profit. Over 20 years this could amount to millions.
2. Ref SDC Reg 18 consultation (Q1 2014) point 9, potential sites need consideration with respect to "previously developed, untidy or derelict land". GT02 does not qualify in these respects.
3. Proximity to school and doctors: Harbury school and doctors both full.
4. Proximity to local community: GT02 does not meet the national planning framework guidelines recommendation for sites to be on community periphery to encourage integration.
5. GT02 does not meet national planning framework guidelines recommendations for availability of good infrastructure (roads, pavement, street lighting, broadband, cellphone reception).
6. In accordance with planning and building regs, GT02 site is unable to use soakaway or runoff since soil is clay based.
7. GT02 raises road safety concerns, due to proximity to Fosse Way and Harbury Lane/Southam Rd with no pavements.
