Re: Objection to Proposed Development on Site ID 692

I am writing to formally object to the proposed development of 6,000 homes on site ID 692 as outlined in the South Warwickshire Local Plan.

1. Green Belt Impact:
The site is located in an area that contributes moderately to Green Belt purposes. Developing this site would undermine the integrity of the Green Belt, which is crucial for preventing urban sprawl and maintaining the character of our rural communities.

2. Infrastructure Concerns:
The current infrastructure in Hatton is insufficient to support such a large-scale development. The local roads, schools, and healthcare facilities are already under pressure, and this development would exacerbate these issues, leading to congestion and reduced quality of life for existing residents.

3. Environmental Impact:
The proposed development poses a significant threat to local wildlife and biodiversity. The area is home to various species that could be adversely affected by the construction and increased human activity.

4. Questionable Deliverability:
The deliverability of this site is questionable, as noted in the HELAA results. Without assured deliverability, the risk of incomplete or stalled development projects increases, which could leave the community with unfinished infrastructure and housing.

5. Lack of Sustainability Benefits:
The proposal lacks clear sustainability benefits that would justify the exceptional circumstances needed to release this land from the Green Belt. The site is not sufficiently close to public transport links or essential services to support sustainable living.

I urge the planning committee to reconsider the inclusion of site ID 692 in the Local Plan and explore alternative sites that do not compromise our Green Belt and community resources.
