This is an isolated depot site in open countryside. That it has an element of 'brownfield' does not make it suitable for re-use by a gypsy site. If the present use ceases another employment use without greater footprint or height of buildings should be considered.

Please be aware that if there is any more development on housing these criminals near to our homes will be opposed vigourously by petition by the residents. Everytime they settle here during shows we have crimes at our homes and at the field where we house our horse - these are all recorded by the police. DO NOT LET THESE CRIMINALS LIVE NEAR US.

They pay no taxes
They steal
They leave rubbish which we have to pay to clear up
They have no rights ( they pay no taxes )
The plans WILL be Opposed

Please take note - they are not our problem - send them back where they came from.

Representation Summary:

As a close neighbour (150 yards away) object to proposed gypsy site GT08. Apart from nuisance caused by gypsies and fall in property value, the site is unsuitable as the entrance is on the brow of a hill and not clearly visible. The road has a 50 mph speed limit but most vehicles, particularly motor bikes, travel along it at more than 70mph. Understand the site has no utilities and the excavation needed could disturb dangerous asbestos which may have been placed there as the site has always been used as a refill site for building material.

Full text:

I have recently been informed of the plan to possibly develop a gypsy site on Leicester Lane (GT08 Depot to the west side of Cubbington Hill farm).

As I live only about 150 yards from the site you can imagine the last thing I want living near me is a number of gypsies causing a nuisance and de-valuing my property.

Apart from that, the site you are proposing is just not suitable as the entrance is on the brow of a hill and not visible if travelling from Bubbenhall. The road is now supposed to be a 50 mile an hour limit but most vehicles travel along it at 70+ mph. Particularly motor bikes that all seem to use it as a test track and open it full throttle as soon as they are passed the round about leaving the built up area.

I understand that the site has no utilities at present, so considerable excavating would be required. The site was always used as a refill site for mainly building material and I would expect it to contain asbestos in the ground. Any digging would risk disturbing the asbestos and all the risks associated with it.

Agent: Cubbington & District OAP Association

Representation Summary:

We object to the proposal to use this site for a permanent gypsy and traveller site on the grounds of loss of income to the Association and others in the community.

The land will be compulsory purchased from the Cubbington Freeholders, who donate the rent they receive from the site to local schools, the Church and our Association.

Our Association has approx 700 members of state pension age and above from Cubbington and outlying villages. We arrange member activities, such as day trips, particularly for those who are less-abled. Without donations this would not be possible. Loss of income from the Cubbington Freeholders would limit what the Association can provide to the senior citizens and less-abled of the local community.

Land to the west of Cubbington Heath / Hill Farm

I would like to express my views that I believe this site to be inappropriate for the following reasons ...

1. The depot entrance / highway access is on the brow of a hill on a relatively fast road, the risk to travellers & their families regularly entering / exiting the site represents a risk to both them and other road users.
2. Combined with the potential HS2 disruption in the local area this is another development that does not fit into the local surroundings on the edge of green belt.
3. North Leamington School and local juniors & infant schools have pressure on numbers already and class sizes are too large together with other local amenities & services.
4. No local industry exists and therefore pressure will increase on the already congested road network, only making the situation worse.
5. These sites historically attract other social & nuisance problems, the impact on local property prices and neighbourhoods is both an issue and unwelcome.
6. The recent review of the local plan rejected further residential development in a 'green belt' area of North Leamington & Cubbington
7. The enlargement of existing sites would seem to be a more sustainable plan rather than numerous smaller and more likely costlier to maintain
8. The protection of existing council land ie. playing fields from being occupied by travellers seems a growing problem, I question if these sites will change this situation?

Full text:

This email is in opposition to the proposed applications for gypsy sites around Long Itchington. My objections are based on 15yrs living in Bidford on Avon where we were plagued with travellers who smashed up the youth club, destroyed the local garage/ filling station. Attacked local youths and called at my house many times demanding to be driven to places, aggresively pushed for work including tarmacing. landscapeing and various other things over the years. They drove around Bidford and Marlcliff spitting on whoever came within range. Men, women and children were all their targets with NO support or action from the Police. The sites are no-go areas and overcrowded with little or no repect for the planning laws. If the government says sites must be provided then let them make room in Downing street and Kensington. They would see it from an entirely different point of view.

Green belt and whilst a previously developed site, is in open countryside. Exceptional circumstances required to develop.
Remote location on busy A445. No pedestrian acces via footpaths so dangerous. Difficult therefore to access local facilities, especially children walking to school.
No GP surgery in Cubbingotn and no school places locally. Travelling to facilities not sustainable.
Fast moving vehicles on busy road and slow moving vehicles from the site on the brow of a hill a hazard. Road is proposed as haul route for HS2 which will increase HGV usage during construction.
Utilities are limited or non existent. Connection will be expensive.
Limited screening of site. Development would be visible and inappropriate in green belt/open countryside.
Site has been infilled and contaminated. Remediation costs likely to be high.
Badgers on site are protected species. Adverse effect on all wildlife.

Respondent: Warwckshire County Council

Representation Summary:

Ex speed limit on Leicester Lane. Vis splays required to appropriate standard should be achievable.

Full text:

GT01 Land adjacent to the Colbalt Centre:
Due to existing development, access would likely have to be taken from an existing private access
road. Without confirmation as to whether this would be permitted, the Highway Authority cannot
recommend a good place to gain access to the site from the existing Public Highway.
GT02 Land at Warwickshire Exhibition Centre:
If access were to be taken from the Fosse Way a new access would need to be created a minimum
215m from the existing roundabout. Visibility from the access would also need to be 2.4m x 215m in
both directions. It is considered that an access to meet these requirements could potentially be
achieved. If access were to be taken from the A425, a new access would need to be created a
minimum 160m from the existing roundabout. Visibility from the access would need to be 2.4m x
160m in both directions. Although potentially achievable the removal of a significant amount of
vegetation/hedgerow may be required.
GT03 Land at Barnwell Farm:
The Highway Authority would not recommend access taken directly off the Fosse Way in this
location. If access is taken from Harbury Lane, it should be at least 160m from the existing crossroad
junction with visibility splays of 2.4m x 160m in both directions. You should look to avoid position a
new access opposite an existing access. The existing access to Barnwell Farm is considered to be a
good location however; cutting back/removal of hedgerow is likely to be required in order to achieve
the required level of visibility.
GT04 Land at Harbury Lane:
The Highway Authority would not recommend access taken directly off the Fosse Way in this
location. If access is taken from Harbury Lane, it should be at least 160m from the existing crossroad
junction with visibility splays of 2.4m x 160m in both directions. You should look to avoid position a
new access opposite an existing access.
GT05 Land at Tachbrook Hill Farm, Banbury Road:
Access taken from the A452 would require visibility splays of 2.4m x 160m. Use of the existing
Tachbrook Hill Farm access would not be recommended as it is sited opposite an existing junction
and it would not be recommended to locate the access any closer towards the Motorway junction. If
access were to be created northwest of the existing Tachbrook Hill Farm access it should be done so
in advance of the existing traffic calming features. Access from Mallory Road would not be
recommended. It should also be noted that there may be issues regarding forward visibility due the
existing vertical alignment of the road. Forward visibility to match visibility from the access would be
required at all sites (160m in this instance).
GT06 Land at Park Farm:
Access created from the A425 would need to have visibility of 2.4m x 215m in both directions. The
existing access to Park Farm is likely to meet this standard. If a new access is to be created it is
unlikely that an access could be created any closer to the existing roundabout without the
requirement for removal of hedgerow/trees. Any access created North West of the Park Farm access
must adhere to the required visibility standards. The access should not be created in proximity of the
existing layby on the A425.
GT07 Land at Smiths Nurseries Stoneleigh Road:
Access from the Stoneleigh Road is unlikely to be achievable due to visibility restrictions unless taken
from Smiths Nurseries. Even then it would have to be demonstrated that the proposed site was
unlikely to generate significantly more vehicle movements than the existing development (and that
it has not caused a Highway safety/operation issue). From Coventry Road (within 30mph limit) it may
be difficult to achieve access due to proliferation of existing accesses. Splays of 2.4m x 70m would be
required in both directions.
GT08 Depot to west side of Cubbington Hill Farm:
Leicester Lane is subject to a speed limit of XX. An access with visibility splays of 2.4m x xxxm would
therefore be required with equal corresponding forward visibility. It is considered that this should be
achievable at this site.
GT09 Land to North East of M40:
The A452 is subject to a speed limit of XX. The Highway Authority considers that achieving an access
to standard from the A452 would be difficult due to road alignment. Creation of an access onto the
Warwick By-Pass would not be supported.
GT10 Land at Tollgate House & Guide Dogs National Breeding Centre:
Gaining access from the B4100 is considered to be difficult due to existing accesses/lay-bys which
makes it difficult to find a suitable location for creation of a new access. Access from Oakley Wood
road is considered unsuitable and an access with required visibility standards unlikely to be
achievable.
GT11: Land at Budbrooke Lodge Racecourse and Hampton Road:
Land west of Warwick Racecourse - Access from the point of the existing access for Budbrooke
Lodge should be feasible. You would need to ensure that visibility splays of 2.4m x 160m can be
provided in both directions due to the access emerging onto a 50mph section of Highway. There
already appears to be a reasonable pedestrian connection to this point too.
GT12: Land at Westham House, Westham Lane
The by-pass onto which the proposed site off which Westham Lane adjoins, is subject to a
derestricted speed limit. Accordingly visibility splays of 215m in both directions must be provided.
This should be achievable. Westham Lane also narrows after a certain length and accordingly,
depending on access location and size of site proposed this may require widening. In addition if this
site was of interest, the Highway Authority would seek further comment from our transport
operations team to determine whether there was any capacity reason as to why a site could not be
served off the bypass.
GT13: Kites Nest Lane:
Kites Nest Lane and Brownley Green Lane are subject to a derestricted speed limit and although it is
acknowledged that vehicles are unlikely to be travelling at 60mph on either of these roads, a speed
survey would be required to establish the level of visibility required and this would ultimately
determine whether an access was feasible or not. In addition both roads are narrow and, depending
on the size of the site, some level of localised widening may be required.
GT14: Warwick Road, Norton Lindsey:
Warwick Road is subject to a derestricted speed limit and visibility from the existing access does not
meet standards of 2.4m x 215m. If it can however be demonstrated that vehicle movements from
the proposed development will not exceed that which could be generated by the existing permitted
development (and that the existing access has not caused a highway safety issues), use of the
existing access may be acceptable.
GT15: Land to east of Europa Way:
This section of the A452 is subject to a speed limit of 50mph and accordingly, splays and forward
visibility of 160m must be provided. It is considered that, with removal of vegetation, this should be
achievable at some point along the boundary line shown.
GT16 Land West of A429 Barford:
The by-pass onto which the proposed site off which Westham Lane adjoins, is subject to a
derestricted speed limit. Accordingly visibility splays of 215m in both directions must be provided.
This should be achievable. Westham Lane also narrows after a certain length and accordingly,
depending on access location and size of site proposed this may require widening. In addition if this
site was of interest, the Highway Authority would seek further comment from our transport
operations team to determine whether there was any capacity reason as to why a site could not be
served off the bypass.
If access directly from the bypass is proposed this would be subject to splays of 2.4m x 215m being
achieved and an access road being constructed to meet highway standards (subject to no objections
being raised from Warwickshire transport operation team about the creation of a new access onto
the bypass).
GT17: Service area West of A46:
The A46 is under the jurisdiction of the Highways Agency and not the Local Highway Authority.
Accoringly, Warwickshire County Council would have no comment to pass other than recommending
that further comment be sought from the Highway's Agency.
GT18: Service area East of A46:
The A46 is under the jurisdiction of the Highways Agency and not the Local Highway Authority.
Accoringly, Warwickshire County Council would have no comment to pass other than recommending
that further comment be sought from the Highway's Agency.
GT19: Land off Birmingham Road, Budbrooke (Oaklands Farm):
The access would be taken from a section of highway subject to a 40mph speed limit. Accordingly,
splays of 2.4m x 120m should be achieved and 120m forward visibility be achieved on both
approaches. The Highway Authority considers that this visibility is likely to be achievable at some
point along the proposed site boundary.
GT20 Land at Junction 15 of M40:
The B4463 is subject to a derestricted speed limit and accordingly, visibility of 2.4m x 215m must be
provided unless a speed survey can demonstrate actual speeds are less than this. The Highway
Authority considers that it is unlikely that visibility for a new access can be achieved without a speed
survey being undertaken. Access should not be taken closer than 215m from the roundabout
junction.
Disclaimer
Please note that the site assessments have been made following desktop studies only using various
software packages. It is likely that all comments accurately reflect the requirements of each site
however, in some circumstances the speed limit may have changed. For reference please note the
following basic visibility requirements set against posted speed limits:
Derestricted/60mph - 2.4m x 215m, Forward visibility of 215m.
50mph - 2.4m x 160m, Forward visibility of 160m
40mph - 2.4m x 120m, Forward visibility of 120m
30mph - 2.4m x 90m*, Forward visibility of 90m*
*absolute maximum - splays of 70m & 43m could also be applied depending on site location.
