I object to the proposed site for the following reasons;
1. Containment.
The site boarders open farmland that could be illegally used for expansion. Additionally, the proposed 15 pitch site is the maximum under government guidelines, it leaves no room for growth as per guidance. That growth space is required for the families as they expand. Therefore 15 pitches is too many for the site.
2. Flood risk.
The council has no effective funded mitigation for the existing flood risk. In fact no detailed report has been commissioned into the issue. Siting residential buildings (of which may are proposed) and mobile homes on a known flood plain is unacceptable to those people living there and the wider community who face unknown costs to alleviate.
3. Access.
Access from the A429 on a dangerous blind corner will inevitably lead to an increase in serious accidents and additional congestion in the already overloaded local of Longbridge Island. This is the main access route into Warwick for the Castle.
4. Environment
The proposed environment is totally unsuitable for human habitation. It is close to a large river that floods, causing a special risk to children. The nearby sewage works regularly emit power unpleasant odours that leave people up to 2 miles away to keep their windows closed. This site is within a few hundred metres. The noise from the M40 and A46 will be excessive and damaging to health. Likewise the airborne pollution from the huge volume of traffic that uses those roads.
5. Economy
The local businesses, and especially the struggling Tournament Fields business park, will all suffer adverse effects of the proposed site being so close.
