OBJECTION to the Gypsy and Travellers site GT05 Land at Tachbrook Hill Farm, Bishops Tachbrook

We are objecting to the above site on these grounds:

There are no footpaths to walk into the village. The road is a 50mph.

The Banbury Road is very fast road (50mph) with many accidents on the road and trying to turn from Mallory Road onto the Banbury Road in rush hours (AM and PM) is a nightmare. There would also be lots of noise from the Banbury Road and the M40 too.

In February 2014 Warwick District Council refused planning permission to the application W/13/1688 (Barwood Development) on the next field. This was due to the way the land lies that can be seen from Warwick Gates. The land is the same in the other field on Tachbrook Hill Farm and the same problems with there too.


We think that the best Gypsy and Travellers site are:

GT15 - Land east of Europa Way - This site is good as it was be protected from noise from the road by the trees and the entrance will be wider for caravan to get on and off.

Gtalt01 - Brookside Willows, Banbury Road - This site is good as it has permission for a caravan site already, there will be tree to protect from the noise from the road and the entrance is wider for caravan to get on and off.
