I attended a Consultation drop in at Chase Meadow on 21st November 2014.

I learned from the officer present from WDC :
* The intended location for travellers site would require two accesses for H&S
* The position shown on drawing dated 15/10/14 is definitive. If the position were to move elsewhere on the 26ha site then it would become the subject of a separate consultation
* The proposed site lies on a flood plain
* Travellers would pay rates in the same way as other residents and would be subject to the same enforcements.

I therefore object on the following grounds.
* The consultation document does not include a proposal for either access. Clearly if Longbridge Manor was used as one access then this would have to be upgraded at considerable cost. Would Severn Trent allow a second road through their land?
* There are no proposals shown on how flood defences would be dealt with and at what cost.
* If Travellers are subject to the same rates and regulations as other residents then why do they have to be separated? The cost of providing this site in this location (The viability) is not included in the consultation document. I would suggest Travis Perkins and Ford Foundry site in Old Warwick Road Leamington would tick all the necessary boxes at a much reduced cost to taxpayers.
* I am unable to see any evidence of how this proposal would affect the local economy. For example house prices, local hotels, existing development land (Tournament Fields)
