• Local roads are just not adequate to cope with the increased traffic. Assuming an average of two cars per household, we’re looking at around an additional 16,000 cars.
• Nunhold Road/ Pinley Road runs from Pinley to Dark Lane, past the turning for Hatton Station. This is a single track country road with passing places.
• It is already a much busier road following the opening of additional business units at Grange Farm and horse stables and menage. Being single track, it’s already easy for congestion to build up.
• This road, together with the connecting country roads, would very quickly become a cut through route for residents at the Hatton development. The road will be absolutely destroyed from heavier use. You only need to look at the state Ossetts Hole Lane and Common Lane resulting from the traffic diverted from Claverdon is see that the local roads will just not be able to cope with the volume of traffic.
• It’s a popular route for dog walkers, cyclists and horse riders The increase in traffic which will come from the proposed development will greatly increase the risk of motor vehicle incidents and create safety hazards for walkers, riders and cyclists.
• The area is a popular route for local DofE Silver students. What alternatives would they have if all of green belt is to be developed.
• A development of the size proposed will have a significant impact of the local noise and pollution levels. Both from the construction activities and the increased traffic.
• There are a lot of small villages/ hamlets with few local amenities. The proposed development in not in-keeping with the current character, and will have a significant impact on the character and appearance of the local area.
• This will be a permanent loss of green belt, severely impacting the lovely wildlife we have locally.
• Concerns over the impact on local services. In particular, Warwick Hospital will not be able to able to cope with increased number of cases that will come from the large number of additional households planned.

Surely there must be other areas available for development with better road infrastructure and which would have less of an impact on green belt. There are many derelict areas which could be put back into positive use with smaller size residential developments.
