692 - Hatton Hill
My objections are based on several key concerns outlined below:
- Lack of Educational Infrastructure: The site does not offer any primary or secondary educational facilities, nor is it within a reasonable distance of existing schools. This lack of educational infrastructure will place undue pressure on already overburdened local schools, affecting the quality of education for current and future residents.
- Environmental Impact: The site intersects with areas that have a baseline habitat score between 40-80, indicating moderate ecological value. Development here could disrupt local wildlife and degrade the natural environment, which is contrary to sustainable development principles.
Agricultural Land Quality: Although the site does not intersect with Grade 1 or 2 agricultural land, it is important to preserve all agricultural spaces to ensure food security and maintain the rural character of the area.
- Accessibility and Connectivity: The site is not well-connected to existing transport networks, which could lead to increased traffic congestion and pollution as residents rely on private vehicles for commuting. This is not aligned with the goals of reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transport options.
- Community Impact: The proposed development does not integrate well with the existing community, potentially leading to social fragmentation. The
lack of community facilities and services will hinder the creation of a cohesive and vibrant community. In conclusion, I urge the planning committee to reconsider the inclusion of Site Ref ID 692 in the South Warwickshire Local Plan. The potential negative impacts on education, environment, and community cohesion outweigh the benefits of development at this location.
