The location is not sustainable and does not meet the ciretria for G&T sites. The Planning Policy for Travllers Sites requires effective and early community engagement. It is not clear what engagement has taken place nor how the consultation has been taken in to account. A large number of people objected to GT04, yet it is still under consideration. This is not consistent with the need to ensure peaceful and integrated co-existence.
31 pitches can be achieved without allocating site GT04.
The proposal would have an impat on siting and setting heritage assets (Mallory Court Grade II listed anbd its listed garden).
The site will have an adverse impact on the landscape and countryside.
The traffic impact and lack of footpath would lead to safety concerns.
Concerns about air quality and odour impact from Barnwell Farm.
The proposals will damage the reputation of Mallory Court Hotel thus harming local business/economy. The viability of future investment will be threatened (including the Spa).
The site is not suitable for traditional residential units and should not be used for mobile homes.
