As I have previously emailed directly to Warwick Council the proposed site on Straford is not suitable for a number of reasons: 1 Flooding - the site is in an area of flood risk and is therefore not suitable for housing despite suggestions of mitigation opportunities. 2 Air quality, soil, odour and pollution - e proximity to the motorway and sewage treatment works make this and unsuitable site for housing, and only tolerable as business/commercial use, though not ideal. 3 Economic impact - creating jobs and employment areas is essential to sustain the local economy. Locating a Gypsy and Traveller site at the proposed Stratford Road site would deter businesses from the exisitng Tournament Fields site and any commercial development adjacent to the gypsy site. 4 Economic impact - negative impact for property values on the Stratford Road and adjacent areas - the council are likely to face claims for compensation from local residents. 5 Green Field site - in other areas of Warwickshire there are a number of disused / under utilised urban sites that would be more appropriate for development than a green field site on the edge of this historic town e.g. Warwick Council depot near Warwick Parkway station North of A46, land adjacent to new Morrisons at old Ford site in Leamington, land adjacent to Leanington Railway station. 6 Site Access - Severn Trent have stated they do not want access to the site over their land, and therefore the only access could be via small existing road or via a new entrance onto Straftord Road close a significant bend. This would not be a safe option.
