Inherent flood risk to the proposed site which is in both Flood 2 and 3a zones. Real potential for water related accidents from the proximity to the river.
Access to the site from the A429 is on a dangerous bend and with caravans coming and going, there would need to be significant change to the road layout in order to keep both local residents and any Gypsys and Travellers safe. The farm track down to the proposed site is also not suitable for large static caravans or even mobile caravans. Unless WDC is proposing to significantly change the road layouts this current layout does not permit the easy ingress and egress would cause traffic chaos.
The site is close to the M40 and will experience noise pollution and careful consideration should be given to the health and safety of children and others who will live on the site. By their very nature, caravans and static homes are less well insulated for noise. And the M40 can be heard loud and clear at a considerable distance.
The Proposed Site should be considered unacceptable from a safety point of view due to it being surrounded by the Severn Trent sewage the river and both the M40 and A429 on two sides.
