This site violates the GREEN BELT, particularly its' objective of preventing urban sprawl.
The development would lead to a HUGE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC. Planning on the basis of 'active travel' , with reduced car use, represents wishful thinking - plans should be based on how people do behave not how you would like them to behave. The A4177, A46 and roads into Warwick are already heavily congested.
Basing the development around a RAILWAY STATION, and hoping people will walk or cycle there, is FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED. People could easily cycle from Hatton Park to Warwick Parkway today but don't.

The area is Green Belt and its development would deprive Warwickshire/the UK of agricultural land that should be used for food production and not development. Hatton Station cannot be significantly enlarged and with its close proximity to Warwick Parkway, train operators will not wish to introduce an additional stop just four minutes travel time from the larger station.
The infrastructure required to support the development of so many houses in this area is incompatible with the area; the recent small development at Hatton resulted in significant disruption with significant economic cost to locals and transport operators.

Inappropriate development of green belt. Development would destroy the character of the area, sparsely populated becoming overdeveloped, ruining views including from the canal, road, public footpaths and train line. Woodland and fields inhabitated by foxes and dear would be lost. Their is insufficient infrastructure (shops, schools, nuseries, doctors) and local highways already struggle with volumes of traffic. Outages to water supply and issues with drainage already exist prior to additional burden. The propsal is for a small town too close to an existing town already low on local amenities. Traffic would impact at least nine local villages negatively and forever.

Lane Farm should be not be built on in any circumstances as it has proven to be a productive working farm for many years providing employment and food for the country to feed the growing population and is on greenbelt. This Farm should be retained for farming and I strongly object to building of any houses or infrastructure buildings at all on the farm fields. Also I object to building any houses or infrastructure around Hatton Station. Roads cannot cope with increase in traffic., There are already tailbacks between Hockley Road onto Birmingham Road due to the volume of traffic

Letter of objection attached. Strongly objecting to B1 Hatton. Lists factors including impact on local communities and character (existing rural Warwickshire character would be lost), traffic and access (access via Station Road leading to Hatton Station is too narrow and local opposition to widening this rural road), infrastructure and services (infrastructure already under pressure and insufficient employment opportunities in the area), noise and disturbance (noise during construction and occupation), environmental impact (threat to ecology and wildlife), policy and legislation (Green Belt location is in conflict with the NPPF).
Favours development at X1 and X2 as an alternative option.

We moved to Hatton a couple of years ago and love it here. The amount of wild life and habitats is beautiful but we are extremely worried about the change to this with the developments of even more houses round here.
The traffic for the new Hatton estate was bad enough, with the road closures, temporary traffic lights and now more cars on the roads.
Our daughter attends a school in warwick and it already takes between 30-45 minutes to get her to school, and this would be worse with more houses and cars as well as pollution!

This area of open countryside in the green belt, including the canal conservation area is a vital amenity for residents of Warwick and Leamington and further afield, for leisure, recreation and the health benefits of exercise. Although not immediately next to Warwick it helps to separate the town from the West Midlands conurbation.
Its present connectivity by road and rail is insufficient for development on this scale and the cost of the necessary infrastructure and the resulting environmental damage make this site unsustainable.
This would result in the permanent loss of valuable farmland, natural habitat and biodiversity.

The destruction of 403ha of green belt land would irreparably damage the character of the parish and result in the permanent loss of natural habitat, valuable farmland and biodiversity.
The site contains the canal conservation area, an important wildlife habitat, and borders ancient woodlands.
The site provides residents of Warwick and Leamington with leisure, recreation, and the health benefits of exercise.
Current road and rail connectivity is grossly insufficient for a development of this scale, the cost associated with infrastructure development, and the environmental damage it would cause, make this site unsustainable.

This is a rural area and I walk to the bus stop in the local village to travel to school. The proposed new town will have a negative impact on the surrounding location and the increased traffic will make the road too dangerous for pedestrians.
The area is also in greenbelt and I am concerned for the wildlife in the area – kites, badgers, bats and deer to name but a few.
The area is currently farmed producing food for the community.
There are signs everywhere saying “conservation area” and it is important that these areas are protected

I strongly object to the proposed development in the green belt land of Hatton. Green belts are meant to prevent urban sprawl and protect the countryside. This proposal undermines those goals. The development would place immense pressure on local infrastructure, including roads, transport, schools, hospitals and utilities, which are already overstretched. Increased traffic would cause congestion, safety issues, and more pollution. Additionally, valuable green spaces providing ecological benefits and recreation would be lost, harming long-term sustainability. The proposal fails to meet sustainable development objectives and should be rejected.

The plan is encroaching on green belt land and using good agriculture land.
The railway station at Hatton is unsuitable as it is too small and the lanes surrounding are too narrow for commuter traffic. There is NOT the infrastructure surrounding site B to cope with the extra traffic.
I understand the railway line is already at full capacity so there will be yet more cars on the roads.

The area designated is some of the most beautiful, unspoilt land Warwickshire owns. I find it inconceivable this is under consideration. The damage to the area and county's reputation aside, this plan takes absolutely no account for the current residents who moved to this area specifically for it's rurality. This can not be simply ignored.
Having recently seen the disruption caused by a small development on Birmingham Road, the proposed development would completely transform this area to building site for decades and create serious levels of pollution.

The traffic around Hatton was brought to a standstill with the recent building of the Taylor Wimpey homes. The Birmingham Road is extremely busy and could not cope with the additional traffic. The area is known for its beautiful countryside - visitors come to Hatton Country World for this from all over the country. It would be a terrible shame for this to be surrounded by a new housing estate. The thousands of homes recently built around Warwick and Leamington have had a terrible impact on traffic in the towns so this would increase the problem greatly.

My biggest concern the rich historical significance of the land being lost. The fields at the back of Hatton Park (Wedgenock) was once an ancient deer park dating back to the 1200’s. There is still remains of the Bull Oak which was identified on maps created during the Norman invasion in 1066. The deer park was used by King Henry V111 and Elizabeth I. I believe other sites which don’t have the important historical significance of the area identified here would be more suitable.

Rural area with high landscape value enabling mental/physical well being. Current roads unsuitable for large traffic volumes. More/wider roads would degrade natural environment and increase flooding risks. Lack of local amenities e.g., GPs, shops would prompt car use by new residents. Even if public transport links improved motor vehicle usage would not diminish . Damaging environmental effects of roads and vehicles, increased risk of accidents on roads unsuited to large traffic volumes. More street lighting would add to environmental detriment. Disruption while building would have a significant detrimental effect on current residents' quality of life and drive visitors away.

While I Understand that new settlement locations are required, B1 would be unsuitable as a location. Lack of infrastructure is a big issue. This location necessitates a commute to cities, which are not easily accessible without causing major disruption (as evident by the relatively small works for Union View this last year).
B1 is also on Green Belt land, there is plenty of non green belt land with more suitable links to transportation.
This development would also destroy the rural communities that have been so supportive of the county council and which this plan is ironically aiming to support.

The local infrastructure, that barely manages the current demands, is inadequate to cope with an increase of potentially 32,000 people and 16,000 cars. Hockley Road is too narrow and twisty and its junction with A4177 is the site of regular accidents. The Chiltern Railway cannot cope with current demand (often only standing room) and the extension to Hatton Station will exacerbate the problem further causing people to prefer their cars. Population likely to be commuters as no local work. Destruction of green fields and hedgerows will drastically reduce wildlife habitats including pollinators vital to crops and local agriculture.

The land at and around Hatton is an area of important greenfield, critical to the health and wellbeing of people living in this part of Warwickshire (and identified as such in County Council Health of Warwickshire Citizens) reports. It is an area of thriving natural wildlife which would be decimated by the proposals. If we continue to concrete and tarmac over green spaces, it concerns me greatly that there will be nothing left of natural areas, critical to local eco-health systems, for our children and their children.

No "exceptional circumstances" for greenbelt use, other sites are less challenged with better infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage, drainage, education, healthcare). Hatton station poorly served; capacity & physical access is restricted. Warwick, Warwick Hospital, Warwick Parkway and Budbrook Surgery already inaccessible along the Birmingham Road, and largely to be avoided. Increasing traffic from 8000 houses will exacerbate, and push traffic onto single track lanes. Precious historic countryside and quality farmland, full of wildlife, is unsuitable for housing development. We should not be degrading & urbanising this & the conservation areas around into a corridor of development. Madness.

The proposed new settlement at Hatton is disproportionate to the existing level of development in this semi-rural area. It would significantly disrupt the lives of current residents for up to 30 years, with long-term negative consequences. Additionally, the settlement would merge the urban area of Warwick with Hatton, which goes against established green belt policies. Alternative sites outside the green belt should be considered first, as they would better serve development needs without compromising valuable green spaces.

Hatton is a rural area with limited infrastructure and road networks. Building a significant volume of houses in this area will negatively impact the existing residents with regards to noise, pollution, congestion as well as damage to the natural environment that made people want to live here in the first place. Hatton is a green, rural community with a village school, not an enormous concrete housing estate with a single road in and out. The recent build at Union View disrupted the local residents for a year, with huge congestion problems. Build these houses somewhere else if you must.

I object to the proposed New Settlement location in the South Warwickshire Local Plan on several grounds. The development fails to demonstrate very special circumstances to outweigh the harm to the Green Belt, reduces its openness, and encourages urban sprawl. It would cause significant ecological damage, impact traffic and infrastructure negatively, and strain local services already at capacity. The irreversible destruction of natural ecosystems and the lack of assessment for brownfield land use are concerning. Approving this would set a precedent for further Green Belt loss, contradicting previous decisions made to protect it.

This area is far too small to form the basis of a self-contained sustainable location. Its location close to Warwick will mean that it remains a satelite of its larger neighbour. The site is divided by the railway and canal. The rural nature of the canal with all its leisure facilities will be ruined. The site is in the green belt with no "exceptional circumstances".
