Respondent: Mr Adam Smith

Site has been demonstrated to be unfit for habitation on grounds of noise and air pollution from major roads, proximity to water courses, River Avon and proximity to sewage works - particularly due to vulnerability of caravans/mobile homes.
Would require significant effort to mitigate the issues as well as allowing for manoeuvring of mobile homes, emergency vehicles and safe turning points, which do not exist.
Not suitable for immediate development and full costs and time requirements are unknown.
Would have significant negative impact on local economy, particularly the further development of Tournament Fields: also the new residential developments.
Impact on small residential community if size of site. Smaller sites are recommended.
Places further demands on overstretched schools and GP surgery.
Previous sites nearby were classed red and dismissed within 1 mile of this site, for reasons including proximity to M40/A46, flood risk and proximity to sewage works.
Optimism in potential of site illustrates commitment and 'fait accompli'.
Unwillingness to consider potential consequences. Dismissive of criticism by reducing consultation period to minimum and holding minimum number of workshops at inconvenient times, also choosing not to attend public meeting.
