1.The site is the last remaining part of the Green Belt between Warwick and Hatton Park. With this proposed development, Hatton Park, currently a village, would effectively become subsumed into Warwick and will form another suburb of Warwick. It’s separate identity would be lost.
At the moment the A46 forms a “natural” break between the town of Warwick and the rural villages. This would be lost with this development. It would therefore cause irreparable damage to the Green Belt and is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, both for the direct harm it causes to the Green Belt, and from the development of a major industrial area between two residential areas (i.e. between Woodloes and Hatton Park). There are better areas within Warwick District that are more suitable, such as SG09
2. Stanks Island over the A46 has had a recent upgrade, but is still subject to delays during the rush-hour. There is little room to further improve the roundabout and this development would significantly increase the volume of traffic, causing significant delays, air pollution and the potential for queues back onto the A46 from the slip-road.

3. There is very limited public transport directly to the site, the only bus service being the IndieGo “On-demand” service which serves all the local villages. This on its own is insufficient public transport for SG07 to be a viable option for users of SG07.
While Warwick Parkway is within a 10 to 15 minutes walk of SG07, this is restricted to those employees who have good access to the Chiltern Line.
The site therefore would not meet S03 (A well-connected South Warwickshire), and would result in an over-reliance on cars and the associated increase congestion.
