Received: 04/05/2014

Respondent: Mrs B.E. Brain

Representation Summary:

Objects to Site GT02 on following grounds:

a) a great visual impact as the site lies in a valley and is visible from all directions

b) with much house building forecast for Radford Semele an already full primary school will be unable to accommodate even more children. The next nearest primary schools all fall into the district of Stratford on Avon making the siting of a G & T site in Warwick District something of a misnomer.

c)the Fosseway is recognised as being of particular historical importance and ground works which will be required for the site risk disturbing this.

d) the access to and from the site will be particularly unsafe for pedestrians and vehicles due to the volume of traffic using the Fosseway.
e) compulsory purchasing land at Warwickshire Exhibition Centre will result in the closure of the business with the loss of employment and financial loss to the local economy.

* Many people are unaware of the requirement to respond to this second consultation, feeling that they have already made their feeling known the first time!!

* Since the first consultation Stratford District Council has given approval for a G & T site (temporary stays only) on land just outside Southam on the Daventry road. As an Ufton resident is our very small village to become a frequently used thoroughfare by the travelling community, this in addition to the heavy lorries travelling to the Biffa waste tip and the green waste recycling facility just outside our village plus the inevitable major disruption the construction of HS2 will bring.

I am unable to access your on-line response website hence an e-mail. I have to ask myself if this is due to the closing date for responses being imminent!

Comments on site GT02 to which I object.

My responses to the suitable of this site remain those which I submitted during the first consultation, to summarize:

a) a great visual impact as the site lies in a valley and is visible from all directions
b) with much house building forecast for Radford Semele an already full primary school will be unable to accommodate even more children. The next nearest primary schools all fall into the district of Stratford on Avon making the siting of a G & T site in Warwick District something of a misnomer.
c) the Fosseway is recognised as being of particular historical importance and ground works which will be required for the site risk disturbing this.
d) the access to and from the site will be particularly unsafe for pedestrians and vehicles due to the volume of traffic using the Fosseway.
e) compulsory purchasing land at Warwickshire Exhibition Centre will result in the closure of the business with the loss of employment and financial loss to the local economy.

I feel sure that many people are unaware of the requirement to respond to this second consultation, feeling that they have already made their feeling known the first time!!

As a further point may I mention that since the first consultation Stratford District Council has given approval for a G & T site (temporary stays only) on land just outside Southam on the Daventry road. As an Ufton resident is our very small village to become a frequently used thoroughfare by the travelling community, this in addition to the heavy lorries travelling to the Biffa waste tip and the greenwaste recycling facility just outside our village plus the inevitable major disruption the construction of HS2 will bring.
