• Infrastructure - Hatton Station would be difficult and hence expensive to expand. Local roads are narrow country lanes with very limited expansion possibilities. New, expensive, bridges will be required, funded by developers or Government?
• Green Belt - this development would significantly harm the environment and wildlife, and lead directly to an increase in urban sprawl. Its status should encourage a preference for re-using derelict or unused urban areas.
• Education - new schools would be necessary. These are expensive and would increase pressure on existing transport facilities.
• Electrical, Gas and Water - expensive new infrastructure needed to meet demands of such a development. Gas services are not available so additional oil tankers would be needed for heating unless all new homes are electric only - there is an inadequate electricity supply.
• Healthcare - existing surgeries lack capacity and are well outside sensible walking range. Warwick Hospital is also outside the suggested sustainable walking range.
• Visual Impact - proposals would have negative impacts on the existing area. The preponderance of low-cost, high density houses are similar to those built at Warwick Gates and would be detrimental to the overall beauty of the countryside.
