I object to the proposed new settlement in Hatton due to its negative environmental impact, strain on infrastructure, and disruption to the community. The development will harm local wildlife, increase traffic congestion, and alter the village’s character. Additionally, the sustainability of the project is questionable, as many residents will still need to travel for work and services. I urge the council to reconsider and prioritize alternative sites.

The A4177 is over traffic capacity in the morning around Hatton Park. Adding traffic to the A4177 makes no sense because it will:
- increase pollution
- reduce child safety catching school buses around A4177/Hatton Park
- reduce pedestrain safety crossing A4177 for the canal towpath
- increase noise
- increase time taken to exit Hatton Park.
This could be mitigated by replacing A4189 bridge where it crosses A46 with a traffic island and changing the culdesac "Grove Park" and farm track leading to Dark Lane to a road giving an alternate route from Warwick to the A4177.

At the back of Todenham Way shown in the attached there is a field where building is proposed - this would increase noise and destroy the view. In addition the bridleway would be affected

With a sustainable land supply, continual new settlements are not sustainable, therefore it should not happen. If you do not accept this argument, the other point is that this land is in the greenbelt; there is plenty of land nearby outside the greenbelt on which a settlement could be built so there is no exceptional need for this settlement.

The proposed development of settlement location B1 would destroy vast swathes of green belt land, remove agricultural capacity which will impact food production, and put a huge increase in strain on roads that are already reaching capacity at rush hour and beyond. Development and construction traffic and noise would adversely impact the existing communities for years to come.

- Loss of beautiful countryside FOREVER that is enjoyed by many walkers
- Negative impact on existing residents (see Union View development isses)
- Birmingham Road is already extremly busy road and cant cope with more traffic for 8000 homes !
- Turning warwick into an urban sprawl that will ultimately join with Kenilworth into a complete mess of a place to live. Look at how Warwick Gates, Shires area is just now a sprawl with too many people tryint to get around a small area.
- No bus services, schools, GP's etc

The extent of environmental damage this proposal would deliver is incomprehensible. Our community would be diluted and our surrounding ecosystems would be destroyed forever. Our green belt should be respected and retained. The proposal puts a heavy focus on public transport but there isn't much of this. The proposal mentions that every house will have a car charging point and so even planners envisage cars will be heavily used which the local roads cannot cope with. The rail system will need investment upwards of £11 million alone which is almost inconvertibly not going to happen.

B1 is the only site that is made up of two distinctly different areas geographically. Therefore, the averaging out of its suitability ratings is floored. e.g. Rail/Bus amber. The western part of B! has no bus service and very narrow country lanes whereas the eastern section has a bus service and significantly better road access. The concept of Rail corridor development north of Leamington is floored. The report acknowledges the rail network here is near capacity, and required expansion of service and infrastructure to serve a development of 8000plus houses would be impossible.

This is an over development of land in the green belt and there is insufficient infrastructure to support this. Ie hospital, schools etc. The area is being used for overspill from Coventry which should also be in their version NOT ours.

Including land at Hatton in the plan goes against the core principle of "protecting our heritage and cultural assets". The Government describes the purpose of Green Belt as "preserving the setting and special character of historic towns". Warwick prides itself on its history, and building so many houses on this land would be devastating to the character and setting. You argue that your strategic objective is to connect people to places, yet you haven't considered the infrastructure - the roads surrounding this area are unable to cope with the current volume of traffic.

Green belt land is green belt land for a reason, it is to protect our countryside. It is immoral to create a narrative that justifies using green belt land anyway just because it suits.
People have chosen to live in Hatton Station and the surrounding villages because they want to live in the countryside, the proposed development is so large it will completely change the lives of everyone living locally. There are not good transport links, it is not an urban area, there are no enterprise hubs, this is an unsuitable location.

Warwickshire is a rural county. That is the reason why it exists separately from Coventry. The County Town of Warwick has already doubled in the last 20 years. The Hatton canal and locks are a historic tourist asset. The transport links are abysmal.

Rural-meaning of-relating to the country or country people or life or agriculture. Open countryside, lots of trees, footpaths,excellent farming land supporting endangered and protected species ( bats, hedgehogs and red kite) Here being a release site for hedgehogs.
IT doesn’t need excess traffic on an already busy Birmingham road , high buildings. air pollution, noise pollution.People working out of their area driving in their electric cars jumping on diesel trains to get back. Pressure on local hospital already stretched to its limit. Gorgeous well balanced school that does not need to be under threat of closure due to new builds

Concerned about ability of local infrastructure to cope with the increased traffic. In particular the historic centre of Warwick is already struggling with the volume of local and through traffic. The Birmingham Road also often gets blocked with stationary traffic. A significant increase in population and traffic will adversely affect the current situation. Emissions from all this stationary traffic conflicts with the stated objective of improving the environment.

I strongly object to this development. All of these houses would have to share the B roads surrounding the development in order to access the A46 or M40. The pollution is already terrible because of the congestion and this will only get worse. It terms of other transport- Warwick Parkway would struggle with this demand let alone Hatton train station which is located off a small bridge which seems ludicrous. Furthermore this is an area rich in farming and wildlife. Both of which we rely on for our future. Far more than houses I’m not convinced there’s a need for.

By adopting a new settlement strategy, the historic nature of Leamington Spa, Warwick and Stratford Towns would be retained.
It would also deliver the opportunity:
– to meet differing housing needs as part of a wider community.
– offer a broader range of housing including the provision of affordable housing for different life stage groups compared to small and medium scale urban development.
– Deliver opportunity to deliver housing alongside employment opportunities.
– Can deliver new services including primary and secondary schools, local retail and medical services to support the emerging new settlement population

It would address a significant percentage of the housing requirement in the SWLP alleviating the need for urban development protecting the historic nature of Warwick, Leamington, Stratford and Kenilworth.
– Promximity to an existing transport hub
Delivers opportunity to meet differing housing needs as part of a wider community.
– Likely to offer a broader range of housing including the provision of affordable housing for different life stage groups compared to small and medium scale urban development.

Completely opposed to ref B1 plans for development In Hatton. Local facilities would be completely overwhelmed, schools, Doctors, Hospitals significantly overcrowded.
An already exceptionally busy road (Birmingham Rd) would become simply unsafe and unmanageable.
The impact on the local environment in a landscape currently susceptible to flooding would significant heighten this risk through the removal of farmland.
This area has already seen development from the Taylor Wimpey estate and further development is changing the infrastructure in the local area at a reckless speed by local developers not yet seeing the impact of housing already in place.

The countryside around Hatton is peaceful prime greenbelt and farmed land. It's a gentle beautiful landscape. The council has no right to desecrate this area which is home to all kinds of wildlife and enjoyed by local residents in addition to walkers, cyclists, and canal boaters. It's a respite for visitors from nearby towns and southern Birmingham. The cost of widening the only through road to serve the proposed settlement would be enormous and counter productive. Bridges would be needed to span canal and railway. Clearly infrastructure needs have not been thought through. We don't need a Greater Warwick!

Hatton seems like a sensible choice BUT it is vital that all the concerns about infrastructure are addressed. It would be sheer stupidity to assume that people will use sustainable transport just because it is available. Please address access to the A46 and the M40 - e.g. by road widening - BEFORE the site is developed not after. Also a robust Environmental assessment needs to be done at the outset, to ensure that delays and additional expense are not occurred later in the process, as has happened with HS2.
