I am writing to raise my significant concerns regarding the proposal to develop a significant settlement of up to 10,000 new homes in Hatton.

While I appreciate the need to provide more houses to meet demand. The impact of such a huge new development in the countryside and near to Warwick is a major concern for the following reasons:

Loss of countryside, biodiversity and habitat
Loss of opportunity for residents of Warwick to have access to natural open space within 15 min walk of Warwick
Negative impact on Warwick- the impact of small estates such as Montague Point and the larger estates on the periphery are already evident with increased traffic and impact on air pollution
Infrastructure-the main A4177 is a small road which struggles with the amount of traffic it carries as it is - the proposal of 10,000 houses 20,000 cars is just preposterous-the highway network won’t cope and it will cause congestion, gridlock, poor air quality, increased risk of accidents etc
Infrastructure- it is already virtually impossible to get a doctors appointment- more houses will put more pressure on doctors, dentists and critically Warwick hospital
Flood risk -building on our green spaces increases the risk of flooding

There is a risk that a
Soulless new town will be developed with a lack of amenities and supporting infrastructure-
Meaning increased traffic into Warwick - which will negatively impact on the character of the town and result in disamenity
For existing residents.

Once our green spaces and habitats are gone they are gone for good!
