Disagree with the whole plan which is based on landowner offerings and not on a professional strategic plan. There is evidence that a more appropriate approach would be to use New Towns legislation which would provide for cheaper compulsory land purchase; installation of infrastructure and building of homes and industry that would not be at the whim of developers.
B1 is totally unsuitable for development given its location next to the A4177 and Hockley Heath roads - both already overwhelmed at critical times of the day.
The whole plan seems to be relying on building adjacent to existing unsuitable roads.

This site is not only greenbelt but rich agricultural and actively farmed land. It is also home to various wildlife some of which are protected. Hatton is a rural area with small lanes and the road infrastructure will not support the increased traffic. Traffic surveys from a proposed smaller site of 4000 houses concluded that the A46 and M40 would become locked. The station at Hatton is too small to support more travel with limited parking and the Warwick parkway is too far to be viable for walkers/cyclists.
A more detailed objection will be attached/emailed

The build plans do not evidence sufficient sustainability ambitions, they permanently obliterate the green belt and productive farmland, they go beyond the original growth requirements. Local infrastructure is unsuitable even with further development; schools, health, road and traffic network including M40 Longbridge roundabout and much more. The plan rests on an unsuitable local train station (Hatton) that doesn't have lines to key hubs. Long term impact on local businesses will be detrimental rather than positive.

I strongly object to the proposed settlement of 8,000 homes in Hatton. The area lacks adequate infrastructure, including roads, schools, and healthcare facilities, and will suffer from severe traffic congestion without a relief road. The existing hospital is already overburdened and cannot accommodate the needs of an additional 32,000 residents. Furthermore, this development would lead to increased antisocial behaviour, loss of rural appeal, and detrimental impacts on wildlife and the environment. I believe there are alternative sites available that do not encroach on green belt land.

I formally object to the inclusion of Land at Hatton as a Strategic Growth Area in the South Warwickshire Local Plan. As a resident of Hatton Park, I find the plan for up to 8,500 new homes flawed, lacking essential infrastructure like schools and healthcare, and ignoring wildlife habitat concerns. Increased traffic and pollution are also significant issues. The focus on expensive housing does not cater to first-time buyers. I suggest utilising brownfield sites instead. I urge planners and councillors to refuse the allocation proposal due to the overwhelming strain on existing infrastructure.

I formally object to the inclusion of Land at Hatton as a Strategic Growth Area in the South Warwickshire Local Plan. As a local resident, I believe that developing this quality farmland threatens national food security. The plans lacks adequate consideration of infrastructure and transport. The recent Union View development has already negatively impacted local traffic. I also object to the proposal for Kingstanding Farm, as it would mar the area's beauty and lacks provisions for local services. I urge planners and councillors to refuse these proposals for the reasons stated. Thank you for considering my objections.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed housing development of 8,500 houses in Hatton. Having lived here for nearly 30 years, I chose this area for its beautiful rural surroundings and the quality of life it offers. This development would result in unacceptable noise, loss of privacy, and irreversible damage to vital green spaces. It would transform our rural landscape into a busy urban area, straining local infrastructure and wildlife. I believe Hatton should remain a rural community, with the green belt protected from overdevelopment.

I am formally objecting to the inclusion of the proposed New Settlement location at Hatton in the South Warwickshire Local Plan due to my concerns as a local resident. My objections focus on the significant traffic increase from over 4,500 dwellings, the potential exacerbation of flooding in the area, and the adverse impacts on local wildlife and biodiversity. I urge the planning department to reconsider this development and respectfully request that planners and councillors refuse the allocation proposal based on these reasons. Thank you for considering my objections.

I am concerned that the proposed development will worsen traffic congestion, compromising safety for pedestrians and residents, particularly as parking is already limited. The local infrastructure cannot support an increase in cars, and there is no apparent demand for additional housing, given that recent developments remain unoccupied. Healthcare services are overstretched, and the environmental impact will harm biodiversity. The scale and design will not fit the area's character, risking overdevelopment and noise disruption. I strongly urge the planning office to reassess the proposal and its potential impacts.

A huge development next to an already busy road network which reaches capacity during rush hour. Recent roadworks at the much smaller development at Hatton have caused big increases to local commuting times.
I also have real concerns about how local NHS services and schools will be able to cope with the additional number of residents in the area. These additional services would need to be developed before thousands of new houses are built and local hospitals and school are already running at capacity.
This development would turn the countryside into yet another big housing estate.

Please don't build on the greenbelt which this area is.
The road network A46/A4177 and A46/M40 junctions could not take the extra journeys that would come from the proposed 4000 or 8000 houses for this area. Currently it regularly comes to a standstill at the slightest interference in traffic flow.
Hatton railway station is too small to support this level of development.

Myself and my partner have bought our first home together in Hatton Park. We knew the area we wanted to live in was Hatton for a very long time, due to its beautiful countryside and amazing community.
Unfortunately after we moved into our home, the Taylor wimpey site was constructed and there is now talk of another 8,500 homes. We worked very hard to buy our own home in our dream area and I feel that it is being destroyed by infrastructure and over population. Working in a Warwick local school myself, I know the deep struggle we face in and around Warwick for school placements and the lack of, this will be greatly impacted if there is more infrastructure to be built.
I'm disappointed that this could go ahead and wanted to express my concerns and upset over this in the hopes to save Hatton.

The proposed new settlement at B1, Hatton, is to be built on Green Belt and viable farm land. This includes a thriving dairy farm, one of the few left in the area, and we need to retain such farmland. Without such farms and agricultural land we will be unable to feed ourselves without relying on imports from abroad. This surely cannot be environmentally sustainable.

Land at Hatton is currently protected by Green Belt which is there to preserve the historic character of the landscape, chiefly the flight of locks, and the country park, 'Hatton Country World, which depends in part on its rural location. However, the Country World is a commercial enterprise rather than a historic landmark, unlike Wilmcote which houses Mary Arden's Farm, one of the five Shakespeare Houses which is vital for Stratford's tourism. A new settlement here would also be further from the main conurbation at Warwick than BW would be from Stratford, and should therefore be preferred as an option.

It makes no sense to disrupt the beautiful wildlife in these rural areas. Its a beautiful village and will completely change the whole atmosphere of a rural village vibe. The hospital simply cannot accommodate the people in south Warwickshire as it is let alone another 8000 houses worth of people. The schools are already at maximum capacity and the traffic around south Warwickshire is already horrendous. The whole idea is totally unrealistic.

Hatton is a tiny place, and not well served by arterial routes. Hatton Country World is a tourist attraction, but who wants to attend a tourist attraction in the middle of a soulless housing estate? The roads cannot cope with the additional traffic, and the scale of the proposal is entirely disproportionate to the area. Once the greenbelt is gone, it's gone forever.

As a Hatton resident, I strongly disagree with this proposal for the following reasons:-
Loss of countryside and valuable farming land. This is valuable green belt land and wildlife habitats will be destroyed.
Pressure on roads already at near full capacity-longbridge, stanks, A46, Warwick gridlock issues
Additional pollution
insufficient services to cater for additional population-schools, doctors and hospitals
Can the required improvements to roads, services and the station be delivered and affordable?
A population increase of 18000 would destroy our rural location, the canal and locks are currently a beautiful tourist attraction to visit.

The scale of this proposed development will completely change the character of the area and have a detrimental impact on Warwick town, along with loss of valuable Green belt land. Road connectivity is already poor, accidents on the A46 and M40 create immense holdups on surrounding roads. Reliance on future rail travel will not work. Hatton station is small and poorly serviced with no option for extension due to its location, meaning more road travel to Warwick Parkway. Transport requirements alone, make this an unsuitable site. Burden on existing facilities awaiting new to be built would be huge and unrealistic.
