Respondent: Mr James Blyth

The area is subject to a high risk of flooding, and no firm methods of mitigation have been proposed.
No proposals for the prevention of pollution in the River Avon from surface water run-off, and human waste.
The proposed site has too many adjacent hazards to be safe for children (sewage works, council depot, river, busy road and motorway). To protect large numbers of children, it will have to be effectively fenced off, creating an unpleasant environment.
Will blight nearby properties, ongoing housing development and the future prospects of Tournament Fields.
I believe insufficient time for consultation on this site has been given resulting in frustration and confusion over lack of details and a general feeling that WDC are trying to push this proposal through as quickly as possible.
Access from Stratford Road is problematic and dangerous.
No real consideration has been given to the impact on local amenities, including GP practice, housing development, open spaces or the affect on local schools.
Longer public consultation would address concerns, including alternative sites which would reduce the impact on the existing local community, and a significant reduction in the scale of any sites in line with national guidance
