This site is in excess of 1.5miles 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.

No local amenities within a reasonable walking distance and no access to public transport on the Fosse Way. Little capacity in local schools and health facilities.

Surrounding roads are hazardous (high number of minor and major accidents in recent years, siting of speed cameras) with high speeds adding to the risk to pedestrians and cyclists due to a lack of pavements paths.

The proposed site has no mains gas, mains sewerage or drainage. low internet speeds/access and weak mobile signal coverage.

Land within the proposed area has flooded on a number of occasions in recent years. Frequent odours from the chicken farm on this proposed site to render this option inappropriate for habitation.

Amenity of neighbours would be intolerable if travellers undertake work (breaking cars etc.) from the site. If animals aren't inoculated it will be dangerous for local dogs and people.

School places for traveller children would deny local children to attend school. Recent experience suggests travellers can be abusive and anti-social. A pleasant and peaceful area will be destroyed if the local site goes ahead.

Supports comments from Meridienne Exhibitions, TEE Publishing and Warwickshire Exhibition Centre.
15 pitches will have a significant impact on local infrastructure, services, utilities and the landscape. In excess of 4.5 miles from any GP surgery and already pressure on local schools.
No mains sewerage, drainage or gas. Electric supply on a limited rural line would need upgrade.
Irreversible urbanisation in landscape.
On or close to junction of two main roads with high traffic flows. Generate a lot of traffic on Fosse Way which carries fast traffic and is a High Risk Route. Add to peak time delays.
Prone to flooding.

Expensive for tax payers to fund necessary development/infrastructure. A brownfield site would therefore be more cost effective and a location within a larger community would be a better for locating travellers.
Harbury Lane and Middle Lane junctions with Fosse Way are prone to flooding and Fosse Way itself is a busy and dangerous road.
No pavements or street lighting for pedestrians, children etc.

Local schools and GP surgery could not cope with additional population.

Too remote from major amenities and centres to be suitable.
Pressure on infrastructure eg schools are at capacity.
Adverse impact on quality of life, property prices.

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.
