Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

GT04 Land at Harbury Lane, Fosse Way

Representation ID: 54369

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Chesterton & Kingston Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Harbury Lane unsuitable for the nature and volume of the increased traffic and the views from the much visited area of natural beauty surrounding Chesterton Windmill would be destroyed

As Chairman of Chesterton & Kingston Parish Meeting I have had many representaions objecting to the proposed use of this site and GT03 for Gypsies and Travellers.
The main objections are:
1. These sites are in the immediate view of Chesterton Windmill which is a heritage site visited daily by tourists from all areas because of its superb vista. This view with caravans, lorries, untidy scrap etc would be completely destroyed by the proposals
2. Harbury Lane, particularly at its junction with the Fosse Way is a very dangerous road being narrow for the volume of traffic it carries. The entry and exit of Lorries and caravans from the proposed sites would exacerbate this situation. By definition Travellers would be using these on a regular basis.
Many more reasons for objecting have been mooted but I have limited this objection to what I consider to be valid planning reasons
