As a resident of Hatton Park I am writing to express my concern with regard to the suggested/proposed developments not only in my area but in Warwick as a whole.
I am not convinced that the area can sustain the suggested/proposed developments taking into account additional medical services, schools, sewerage, and many other environmental issues. Having said that I acknowledge that more homes are needed in the area to cater for young people in particular.
I suggest that there may well be sites which I suppose could be referred to as brownfield sites which surely must be considered before any development of greenbelt land and from my fairly limited knowledge of the area I would suggest there maybe suitable buildings for refurbishment into homes rather than offices.
I strongly protest at development of greenbelt land until such time as these other options have been explored in detail.
With regard to the development in Hatton Park I am not totally opposed to the suggested 80/90 house being built although I am if there are not a substantial number of starter homes since to provide accommodation for young people will increase the possibility of making the area more vibrant BUT even this cannot be done until there are additional medical and schooling facilities provided or earmarked for the immediate future and certainly available for when the development has been built.
With regard to the proposed traveler site on the Birmingham Road I strongly object to this for a number of reasons. Firstly the Birmingham Road is a very busy road and even with a small number of caravans there will be increased vehicle activity in that are of the road which has already had 2 fatalities in recent years as well as a number of less serious collisions. Secondly between such a busy road and water is not a safe place to have what may be unsupervised children. Thirdly presumably more school places and medical services will have to be provided in addition to those required if the other local development takes place. Fourthly is there anyway that the Council are able to confirm to the general public that these travelers will be responsible for Council Tax and such like since as you will appreciate there is a general perception that little or nothing is paid out by these travellers and by addressing this perhaps their presence maybe just a little more acceptable however the site is not really appropriate.
Much more thought needs to be given to this
