Site is the flood compensation area from the Barford bypass and contains a permanent central pond and so is unsuitable.
Environment Agency identified part of this site as having significant flood risk.
Inadequate pedestrian crossing facilities into the village.
The A429 bypassing Barford is a very dangerous road carrying fast travelling vehicles. Several serious accidents and a recent fatality highlight safety concerns for pedestrian and vehicle access.
Inadequate vehicular access.
Local facilities cannot be accessed on foot, bike or public transport thereby increasing reliance on car journeys which adds to pressure on highway infrastructure and is unsustainable.
Will lead to loss of farmland and rural employment making such sites isolated sites unviable.
Negative impact on Barford St. Peter's School which is already having to expand. Further influx will reduce places for local residents.
Disregards Rural Area Policies: RAPs 1 (New Housing), 6 (New Employment), 10 (Safeguarding Rural Roads) and 15 (Camping and caravan Sites).
Adverse visual impact and cannot successfully be integrated into the landscape.
Site does not allow for peaceful co-existence with community.

Apart from extra people and vehicles from these sites - the only exits are not the bypass - being the A429 with speeds of 60 mph and more - this would be a huge hazard on a road where there has been fatalities already.

Land belows level of road and would require considerable engineering to provide access for caravans and waste collection vehicles. Traffic does not always obey the speed limit.
Proximity of river creates possibility of pollution at some time.
Site is immediately adjacent to the river and has been subject to flooding. Water table must be close to the surface and therefore not a healthy place for people to live, without extensive building work being undertaken to screen sites from moisture.
Access poor to Barford village. To cross A429 would be unsafe for children unless traffic light controlled crossing installed which would require reduction of speed limit on by-pass.

Caravans would not blend in with houses and the architecture of the village and would harm the landscape character.
Locating the site close to a sought after location near the River Avon makes a mockery of the planning system. Also the site is in danger of flooding and so expensive measures would be needed to prevent this happening.
Gypsy/Traveller community unlikely to want to integrate into the local community. Better that they are located near to towns where this is more likely and facilities are close by.
Barford has no doctors' surgery, the school is full and public transport links are poor.
Major infrastructure/utilities would be necessary to service the site.
Site access is via a busy and fast bypass with no pedestrian access. Adding additional traffic would be dangerous and require expensive engineering solutions to overcome the problem. The bypass would create noise disturbance for site residents.
