Remote from GP surgery.

No mains sewerage, drainage or gas. Electricity supply needs upgrading.
Poor phone and broadband provision.
Fosse Way is Roman road where there is likely to be archaeological remains which would be destroyed. Also site of tollhouse.
Impact on views from Chesterton Windmill.

Small local community would be absorbed by new residents resulting in lack of integration.

Cannot be integrated into landscape without harming character of the area.
Threat to historical Bishop's Tachbrook and possible damage to listed buildings.
Site on good quality agricultural land needed for food production.
Adverse impact on natural and historic environment including pollution and contamination of the Tach Brook.
Remote and with no pedestrian links/public transport.
Lack of full time GP surgery and of school places. Impact on education of existing children if educationally disadvantaged children join the school with no additional resources on offer.
Lack of employment for GT community.
Perceived increase in crime rates.
Decrease in house values. Stigma attached to such sites with knock on effects on local businesses and the tourist industry.
Site will not promote peaceful integrated co-existence.
Alarm at number of sites proposed close to Bishop's Tachbrook.
Brownfield sites should be utilised instead of green belt, countryside and english heritage. All facilities are available within the town.
Occupancy cannot be regulated. Sites to be operated by GT community and not Council means there will be no way of restricting numbers or of expansion of sites.

Proposed site next to up and coming football club. May attract football hooligans and trouble makers with undesirable threatening and intimidating behaviour. Consider the wisdom of siting GT site next to football ground.

The site is outside the practice boundary of Harbury Surgery, there are no plans to alter this due to lack of capacity and strain it would place on the surgery.

Suitable land-

Junction is already dangerous due to poor visibility and traffic speed. Tall grass and crash barriers impair view.
Doubts that local facilities such as schools and doctors could cope.
Would need good bus routes and links to Leamington with a wider choice of facilities and emplyment opportunities. Some sides have better access being on A roads with frequent bus services and flat land giving better site access.

No mains services available.
Loss of rural and productive farmland.
Immense visual impact running parallel to road giving a different view of rural Warwickshire to passersby, residents and visitors.

This site is in excess of 1.5 miles from any GP surgery but local surgeries are full.
Harbury Primary School is full. Schools in Whitnash (2+ miles away) have only limited capacity.
There is a bus stop on Harbury Lane but there is no pedestrian links from it to the potential site. Travelling community unlikely to use public transport.
Area is prone to flooding and is effectively a flood plain. Harbury Lane is often flooded and impassable. Harbury Lane is often flooded and impassable.
Site will generate additional traffic movements each day at the junction of two major roads. Highway improvements would be necessary (creating more urbanisation) but will still add to existing peak time delays. Fosse Way is a designated High Risk Route by the County Council. More than 12 Serious Accidents at this junction over the last 3 years.
The Fosse Way is a very busy main road, generating both noise and disturbance
The proposed site has no mains sewerage, drainage or gas and electricity supply is a limited rural line and may need to be upgraded to any increase in demand.. Site is too far from the Whitnash Telephone Exchange to provide an adequate telephone or internet service and does not have a reliable mobile phone service.
Site is near the Fosse Way's original alignment so archaeological remains are likely to be destroyed by the development, especially as remains from nearby 17th century tollhouse have been found in the area. Site would blight vistas from Grade 1 Listed Chesterton Mill.
The proposed site is larger than Barnwell Farm and will cover 0.8 hectare (8000 m²) and could possibly increase in size. The site is at the bottom of the valley so not possible to integrate this use into the landscape without harming the visual appearance and character of the area especially as the site is also very visible from Chesterton Hill. It could be a precedent for further ribbon development.
The villages of Harbury and Whitnash are over 1.5 miles away. The very small community of houses within half a mile of the site would be absorbed by the 120 travelling community so the site will not promote peaceful and integrated co-existence.
Many businesses (including farms, fencing contractor, pony riding, a hotel, a breakers yard) that operate from this site and the surrounding area will potentially suffer if the proposed sites go ahead.
Unauthorised intrusion from the site occupiers onto the agricultural land could result in contractors not wishing to risk tractors and equipment and any crop damage and rubbish deposits could result in land ceasing to be farmed and becoming unsightly.
The proposed site will be a major invasion into the openness of the countryside and will be an irreversible urbanisation of the entire area.
