Representation Summary:

This is a ill thought out policy, that I fear will not enhance the area. There are little benefits for the costs involved, and additional future costs to the tax payer. There are additional schooling issues, and infrastructure overloading on the overloaded main road.

Full text:

I object to the usage, as the area already has 2 traveller sites. 1 at west Row, and 1 private one in Henniker Road, and that this puts a unnecessary addition burden on a already overloaded main infrastructure road (Bramford Road), Additional schooling and local amenities will be further stretched. I fear it will also have a further adverse impacts on local housing prices AGAIN!
The costs to provide sewage water and power together with access, together with additional policing costs , are disproportional for 5 pitches on 0.3 Ha (very low density of 15 dph), where if the council think that it is ok to over-load roads, schools etc. Then they should sell the land for normal development and at least make the local tax payers some capital realisation and benefits, rather than impose additional costs, and devaluation to the local population.
