Preferred Options Consultation - Land at Stratford Road, Warwick

Representation ID: 67404

Received: 08/09/2014

Respondent: Mr Rob Brown

Representation Summary:

Residents of Chase Meadow are likely to want to move away. This would be a disaster for such an up and coming area in Warwick
Aylesford & Newburgh school are expanding and investing in the future to sustain the interest from the ever expanding Chase Meadow. Surely these schools would suffer a dramatic downturn in interest if these were located next to such a site.
New houses and streets are being developed by the major homebuilding companies. How is this development supposed to continue if the whole area is ruined.

I am writing with regards the Proposed Gypsy and Traveller site adjacent to the Stratford Rd Warwick. I find it difficult to comprehend how such a proposal is not laughed out of existence due to the environment you are dealing with.

Chase Meadow (which I'm assuming you realise) is located next to the proposed site is a developing suburb which is a pleasant and safe environment which attracts a large number of young families who are drawn to the area due to the benefits of living in such a safe environment. To suggest a gypsy site could exist in such close proximity to an area such as Chase Meadow without a mass exodus of the local residents is mind blowing in its absurdity. Aylesford & Newburgh school are expanding and investing in the future to sustain the interest from the ever expanding Chase Meadow allowing an even more attractive area for young families to reside. Surely these schools would suffer a dramatic downturn in interest if these were located next to such a site, not to mention the young families moving away from the area to avoid living near the proposed site would reduce the numbers of children falling into the catchment area.

Month after month new houses and streets are being developed by the major homebuilding companies which in turn are being filled with the type of residents named above, how is this development supposed to continue if the whole area is ruined with such a ridiculous proposal. I know from casual conversations I have had recently that a very large number of residents will be looking to leave the area if such a proposal goes ahead. This would be a disaster for such an up and coming area in Warwick and I'm convinced that the fall out and knock on effect would be felt from years to come.
