The assessment of Hatton Park as a Growth Village is subjective and only JUST places it into this category.
Hatton Park is made up of some 750 homes and is responsible for local population growth of 48% since 2001.
There is already a wide range of housing types - including affordable housing.
Facilities and services within Hatton Park are insufficient to be associated with a Growth Village.
Referring specifically to Hatton Park as a Growth Village (site H28):
The assessment of Hatton Park as a Growth Village is subjective and only JUST places it into this category. If the population of Hatton Park wasn't described as "about 2020" and instead was accurately assessed at say 1990, it would not be a Growth Village.
Hatton Park is responsible for local population growth of 48% since 2001 (even higher for younger people) and there is a wide range of housing types - including affordable housing. Therefore WDC's justification for improving housing stock and encouraging population growth in the younger demographic DOES NOT APPLY to Hatton Park.
Facilities/services/amenities within Hatton Park are insufficient to be associated with a Growth Village. There is a community centre and small village shop - but that is all.
Public transport within Hatton Park is insufficient. The bus service is sporadic and unreliable and therefore underutilised. Residents have to rely on cars to access supermarkets, doctors surgeries, schools, post offices, dentists, train stations, restaurants etc.
