Over representation in the area of 'Gypsy Traveller' plots, very few local facilities, increased high risk of road accident involving children, disruption to the local countryside, ground not suitable for habitation due to flooding. Not strategic as the land is owned by members of the 'Gypsy Traveller' population.
The local area is over represented with Gypsy and Traveller plots - Mere Lane (largest in the Harborough district) and Woodway Lane.
The Claybrooke School area is extremely busy and very dangerous at dropping off and picking up times. There is a severe health and safety issue with increased local population.
The access to the plots is a single lane track there could be as many as 12 vehicles on site.
The area is at the bottom of a hill next to a stream that floods every year.
The area runs next to a footpath which could be disrupted.
Local facilities are at a minimum, local town shops are 4 miles away.
