Ymatebydd: Mr William Honeysett

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Hatton station will not be used:
- poor road access (cannot be changed)
- poor station infrastructure (expensive)
- poor frequency of trains (expensive)
- rural and not accessible

Local infrastructure is not suitable, and no proposal to remedy this:
- Warwick hospital operates at critical- 18k people will not reduce demand
- Roads around hatton and warwick are not suitable for more traffic (people will not use the trains)

Loss of farmland/greenbelt is unacceptable
- We need to feed our growing population
- Local wildlife uses this land to reproduce and benefit the ecosystem

Ymatebydd: Mr Garry Rollason

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The proposal for a new settlement at Hatton (B1) is inappropriate because the infrastructure is inadequate and it is in the Green Belt. Addressing the infrastructure issues will be fraught with delivery problems and will be very expensive if, indeed, funding was forthcoming. The availability of alternative sites not in the Green Belt and which have better infrastructure, such as X2, means that there is no need for a new settlement at Hatton. Those parts of B1 near to Hatton Park (sites 166 and 692) would be more appropriate for development than those parts near Hatton Station (site ref 153).

Ymatebydd: Mr Ira Goldsmith

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

An important Green Belt area for water retention during heavy rains, which prevents downstream flooding.
Negative impact on local character and heritage as Hatton is a rural and historically significant area known for its Heritage Hatton Locks (Stariway to heaven) and Grand Union Canal.
Too close to Warwick. Increase in traffic congestion, air and noise pollution, with negative impact on health and quality of life. Popular route used by cyclists, runners and horse-riders this will become more dangerous.
Lack of infrastructure, major shops, healthcare facilities or schools, limited transport links making it car-dependent.
Expanding public transport would require significant investment.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Support the development of a new settlement on non-green belt land.
A new settlement will provide the infrastructure and amenities required by new residents, rather than trying to add capacity to already bursting amenities in existing areas.
Roads in and around spatial growth areas have not been designed with the additional capacity in mind, which therefore causes bottlenecks plus a larger volume of traffic which can be unsafe.

Ymatebydd: Mrs Nicola Clarke

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

1. The proposed area is in Green Belt - 1,400 acres of farmland that can never be replaced. It is irresponsible of councillors/officers to consider devastating land that should be used for food production. Farming should be encouraged - not obliterated.
2. Access to the rail station is inadequate and would require the destruction of rural lanes.
3. The station is incapable of expansion. It is close to Warwick Parkway; train operators will be unwilling to introduce a further stop.
4. The infrastructure will require uneconomic investment that will have no payback.
5. Medical services will be swamped.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Why here? The amount of infrastructure you’d have to put in, roads are already jam packed, Hatton station can only just cope now and so having an input of 8,000 households would just cause a melt down.
This is good farming country and there a very few dairy farms left in Warwickshire, it would be a great shame to lose valuable farming ground
I just don’t see how building a brand new town here would benefit anyone no good routes as alluded to early Hatton station could not cope, build them some where close to city’s/ towns with good routes

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Infrastructure - proposal dependant on rail and road infrastructure that is woefully inadequate and difficult to improve.
Environmental -laziness using a large greenfield area as it is easier to develop areas of virgin land with no consideration for environment and wildlife
Farming - destruction of good quality dairy permanent pasture. How are we going to feed all these extra people if we keep removing our farmland?
Community -dumping of people from Coventry with inadequate discussion of schools, community centres or hospitals. Poor transport solutions do not bode well for community cohesion.
Developers and landowners only would benefit from this site..

Ymatebydd: Campaign to Protect Rural England - Warwickshire

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

B1 Land at Hatton. A new settlement here would be wholly out of character with the Arden landscape.
The land is all Green Belt and has strong recreational value.
The land proposed is not a sustainable location.
Hatton already has a large settlement, Hatton Park, is in effect a new settlement. It has been taken out of the Green Belt.
Hatton railway station has minor road access and has limited services
Additions to Hatton Park on the east side would be the least harmful way to add to existing development in the area, with a foot/cycle route to Warwick Parkway.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Inappropriate development in green belt. Lack of local infrastructure such as GPs, safe roads, adequate train services. Damage to natural habitats. Risks coalescence of settlements with both Hatton Park and Warwick over time as, if developed, might encourage future infill. Local countryside provides important resource benefitting locals and visitors in allowing enjoyment of natural environment for walking, cycling and horse riding, activities proven to support good mental health.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

There is no local infrastructure to support such a development. The train station cannot support such an increased level of dwellings. The roads also could not cope. You would be building across green belt land with no thought for the wild belt or the impact on wildlife. It would also be destroying over 1000 acres of valuable food producing farmland which would have a direct impact on our food security as a country. It would utterly decimate the local area.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

I object to the proposal as the site is Green Belt, doesn't qualify as grey belt and there are other more suitable non-Green belt options. The bioversity loss from developing this area will be very high and it will be very hard to compensate which risks a huge biodiversity loss from the district. The landscape assessment of the area has been underestimated and both the rail and road infrastructure will not support a settlement of this size.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The proposals will impact the local community more than the analysis shows. Inevitably there will be a large increase in non locality travel to surroundings, Warwick, Stratford upon Avon etc., which existing infrastructure cannot cope with. Wildlife and greenbelt will be massively affected. Flooding will increase. Locals will lose many amenities and quality of living will be adversely affected.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The road system locally will not cope with the increased traffic generally. As the main employment area and shops,, hospital, dentist etc are either in Warwick/Leamington Spa or the other side the roads will not cope in Warwick. The railway station at Hatton can’t be upgrade due to many restrictions of timetables and buildings around it, thus why HS2 is being built. Removal of valuable farm land to help feed the country will be lost which will also mean the loss of wild life habitat and the valuable lost of green belt area to dividing city’s and villages.

Negatives:
*Greenbelt -non greenbelt alternatives available
*productive farm land lost forever
*Unsuitable roads, old narrow bridges, heavy traffic, narrow roads
*no facilities - no shopping (only tourists),no buses everything requires car travel to Warwick/leamington
*disruption to residents- large development which residents are already fed up with the disruptions form current development
*no local need for this level of houses - parish council estimates were significantly lower
*negative impact on visitor numbers to the area because they come to visit the country side
*Overflowing sewers

I object to this proposed site. as the service frequency from HAtton is inadequate at present with limited capacity to improve and the car park is too small and no room to expand. There is poor access to the station via Station Road and is not suitable for pedestrians, cyclists or buses. There is a vast investment needed to improve the tracks and station infrastructure. I do not feel that the station can be improved sufficiently to cope with the increased numbers. The road network too is not suitable and the required improvements will mean years of roadworks

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

This is a site of special historic interest holding the remaining pieces of the ancient Forest of Arden. The greenbelt is something to be proud of and treasured. The quiet country lanes will become rat runs. The rural character destroyed forever. Riding,cycling and walking will be dangerous. The existing charming canal bridges will not withstand traffic. This proposal strikes at the very heart of what rural Warwickshire means. I’ve lived here on and off for 45 years and this feels like I am being betrayed by the people I vote in to be custodians of this special county.

Deeply inappropriate.
Forcing generations of active farming on great land losing our farmers heritage
Traffic issues - serious disruption
notvalid infrastructure
loss of tourism. (Hatton COUNTRY world) not in the country!
Hatton locks
No public transport, no investment into health and schools
Rural to Urban - when there are better options for cheaper more lower cost, higher value houses in brown and existing urban locations
Please allow the residents to chose the acquire the land at standard rural land rates to prevent this happening.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Why are we even considering sites in green belt? The purpose of green belt is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open, safeguarding the countryside, and preserving the character of historic towns, our historic town Warwick. My children will be impacted by this development, to take away the countryside that we enjoy as a family. There are plenty of other sites not in green belt zones which would be much more suitable.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Site B1 Hatton should not be included.

1. It is in Green Belt. Other sites have been proposed which are not, so they should be considered first.

2. Inadequate infrastructure

Road connections are inadequate. The key route between Hatton and Warwick is the A4177. The Transport and Education Assessment of New Settlement Options paper confirms there is limited scope for improvement. The area south of Shrewley does not benefit from any major road links. Rural lanes connect to inappropriate junctions. None of the links/junctions are identified for improvement in the IDP.

The bus service is virtually non-existent. Excessive weight is given to the Hatton Station rail connection. Services have low frequency, inadequate car parking, and poor access which is unsuitable for some modes (walking, cycling, bus). There is limited scope for improvements.

3. Better locations elsewhere.

X1 and X2 score better in the New Settlement Analysis for transport, and proximity to settlement. They have 9 and 8 green scores respectively compared to 5 for Hatton. Hatton has 3 red ratings while E1, F2, F3 and X2 have two and F1, G1, X1, and BW have 1). SG07 is much better located for access and would require less infrastructure than B1.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Using the land in this area for development is madness all of this land is and has always been farm land. The proposal shown is joining up multiple rural villages creating one giant town. With this it’s generally always considered that villages should stay separate rather than joined. In no way does this make any sense why don’t you look more at filing in areas within Warwick and leamington and using brown field sites rather than this. Also how do you plan to improve infrastructure? How on earth this development works with the new BNG requirements I do not know.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Significant traffic, commutes challenging. Many better areas not in greenbelt more suitable. Not enough resources (school, hospitals) to cope with the increase in people, straining existing resources that are already under stress. By building in this area it will decrease the areas popularity due to it no longer being a countryside area and changing the demographic. As a young person i love this area because it is rural and exactly the kind of area i would like to live in when i'm older. The creation of more houses, mae it somewhere i would no longer like to live in.
