Access/egress via busy road network would not be safe.
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.
Site does not allow for peaceful co-existence with community.

Concern for biosecurity.
Sites with room for livestock could have fatal consequences to Racecourse business due to lack of vaccination.
British Horseracing Association have made it clear that if GT sites go ahead near to the racecourse, they will find difficulty in granting licence to stage race meetings. Could be loss of business so integral to Warwick' s history.

Hampton Magna is already under threat of over development for housing with existing infrastructure at capacity. I feel that further development of sites surrounding the village would increase traffic levels on narrow roads around and possibly through the village.
Other options should be considered where roads and infrastructure could support and cope with extra demand.

The developments alongside the A46 (ex Little Chef sites North and South) are not appropriate. Not only is one site on green belt land - they are both immediately adjacent to a very fast road and have poor or no walkways or public transport access. Families and domestic animals should not be placed so closely to a fast road and they should have access to available services which are at capacity already locally.
I have attended a number of local meetings regarding the local plan and do recognise the difficult position elected members and officers have been placed in in pulling this document together. However I continue to feel that it is unfair and untenable.
Just because North Leamington residents got together quickly and financed themselves into a position to lobby and discredit the first plan option of building between Milverton and Blackdown should not mean that there is no development north of the district. One key reason for building affordable family homes in the north was to re-invigorate a fossilising community. The demographic trend in Milverton, Cubbington and beyond is for older people and this is storing up problems for the future. Neighbourhoods and villages work best with a good spread of community - old and young sharing services and supporting each other. An additional reason to re-consider some development in the north of the district is with the successful Coventry/Warwick Gateway developments application. I note officers stated that this will open up jobs for Coventry people more that Warwick District residents but I also believe many will come from and/or want to live in Warwickshire. Because of this late- in-the -day decision I do feel planners should go back to the drawing board on developments north of Warwick district.
In terms of developing close to villages - particularly Hampton Magna - it is now apparent that families purchasing homes here need to have special land checks completed and organise specific insurances to cover the fact that some homes are built on landfill. (When we purchased 37 years ago we believed the site was Budbrooke Barracks but further investigation is showing a land fill sites also). The development land proposed on the outskirts of Hampton Magna could well feature ex-landfill sites and therefore become more expensive tracts to build on or develop. Additionally the local school and doctors surgery are full to capacity and would struggle to cope with additional demands on services - particularly having recently coped with influx of residents from Hatton Park and Chase Meadow.
Feedback on the proposed gypsy and traveller sites includes the unfairness of just how many sites are located around the county town of Warwick. I, and most people I know, recognise that sites need to be developed but again these need to be fairly distributed around Warwick District not only for current residents but also for travelling families to have some choices of where they settle. Planners may well quote that fairness is not a legal requirement but it is certainly a community requirement. I don't believe the developments alongside the A46 (ex Little Chef sites North and South) are appropriate. Not only is one site on green belt land - they are both immediately adjacent to a very fast road and have poor or no walkways or public transport access. Families and domestic animals should not be placed so closely to a fast road and they should have access to available services (see above for lack of school and GP capacity).
I feel the Racecourse site is also inappropriate due to it being placed on a major gateway into the County town and this site is also a transient site for travelling circus/fairground people through out the year - again making this choice an unfair one. Sites such as Barford and Kytes Nest Lane are significantly more appropriate due to their locations. I am also surprised that Radford Semele has little or no development proposals. There is capacity in the school there as well as good road and public transport links.
Please carefully consider all the above. I look forward to the next round of suggestions.

The local infrastructure will not support the proposed site.
It is too close to the new racecourse stable block and will have a negative impact on tourism at both the racecourse and the town centre.
We wish to object to the new local plan on the following grounds.
1 The local infrastructure will not support one or more of the proposed gipsy sites.
2 The sites are too close to the new racecourse stable block.
3 We believe the sites will have a negative impact on tourism at both the racecourse and the town center.

In summary objections are:-
1. Additional impact on local school and doctors surgery
2. Increased volume of traffic
3. Close proximity to settled community
4. G19 flooding
5. High profile sites as enter into Historic Warwick
Objection to Gypsy and Traveller Sites - GT17, GT18, G19
We would like to object to the building of the above Gypsies and Travellers Sites.
All three sites would greatly impact on Hampton Magna. In recent years Hampton Magna has had to accommodate a considerable amount of additional people due to the building of Hatton Park and Chase Meadow, which has already had an impact on the school and the doctors surgery, plus a large increase in the volume of traffic. Warwick Parkway has also had an impact on the village.
Even though you say that GT17 and GT18 are away from a settled community it is in very close proximity to both Chase Meadow and Hampton Magna and could be even closer to Hampton Magna residence if you build 150 new houses on the village.
G19 is liable to flooding,and all three sites are high profile site for people visiting the historic town of Warwick.
All three sites are on very busy main roads and close to the canal which would surely be a danger to children living there.
In summary our objection are:-
1. Additional impact on local school and doctors surgery
2. Increased volume of traffic
3. Close proximity to settled community
4. G19 flooding
5. hHigh profile sites as enter into Historic Warwick
