My main concerns with the proposal B1 at Hatton are as follows:
• Loss of green belt and well-managed productive farmland outside of Warwick, therefore, not preserving the distinctive character and setting of a historic town and area of ancient Arden.
• Misrepresentation of the transport links at Hatton in documentation.
Hatton Station is a small local station which has infrequent trains to Stratford upon Avon, Leamington Spa, Birmingham during the daytime and a slow service to London Marylebone.
The M40 motorway access mentioned in the proposal is several miles away in either direction. The motorway runs through the area in question but there are often long queues at peak times to access the Motorway at the Junction 15 roundabout.
Traffic flow on the A4177 towards Warwick is already very busy at peak times and this is without any additional traffic using the road from the Union View development at Hatton Park.
There will be a need for huge, expensive infrastructure projects if new roads, bridges, and access is to be provided to cross the canal and railway which will carve up the green belt land.
The provision of water, electricity, gas, and broadband services to support the huge increase in households in the town will come at a substantial cost.
There does not seem to be any reference to who will fund these and how they will be funded.
