I would like to express my objection to further housing developments in the Budbrooke / Hatton area.
I have walked this area for many years with a friend and it is an area of unspoilt countryside. We also walk along the tow path near Hatton Locks.
It would be another expanse of countryside lost for further housing - then it would be lost forever. Please take my objection into consideration.
I myself live near Whitnash, the first phase of 'Warwick Gates'. There are so many different housing developments being built beyond this area, that it will very shortly link up with Bishops Tachbrook. So many houses and not enough infrastructure, just mass housing, everywhere. Now I see that even more houses are going to be built near
Gallows Hill. Traffic is already very busy in this area - we are losing our green spaces and I'm very sad about it.

There has already been a major housing project in this area 'Union View' which impacted on the surrounding villages, trying to get to Warwick or the motorway is already difficult. There is a canal network Hatton Locks which is an area that is much loved by local and visitors both for walkers and boating visitors, seeking countryside fresh air and wildlife. This needs to be preserved at all costs for future generations well being.

I formally object to the proposed new settlement at Hatton (Site B1) in the South Warwickshire Local Plan due to significant concerns about its impact on the Green Belt, inadequate infrastructure, insufficient public services, and environmental consequences. The proposal fails to meet national Green Belt policy, lacks necessary infrastructure upgrades to accommodate 8,000 homes, and does not provide sufficient public services like schools and healthcare. Additionally, the consultation period is too short for meaningful public engagement. I urge the Council to reconsider and explore sustainable alternatives.

The Government and local authorities should be developing policies to bring under-used existing dwellings (ABNBs, second homes, etc) into the housing market rather than developing on green belt and rural land.

I object due to concerns with regards:
a) The extensive loss of greenbelt that this would involve resulting in loss of over 1415 acres of productive farmland and the loss of habitat for a diverse range of wildlife.
b) Many key roads in the area can not be widened and just can not support the level of traffic that this new settlement would inevitably occur.
c) Hatton station would require significant upgrade and access to the station would remain an issue.
d) Proposed site would put huge pressure on our local hospital services

I object to the proposed development in Hatton due to its negative impact on local infrastructure, environment, and community services. The anticipated increase in traffic will worsen congestion, particularly at the Hockley Road Junction, and there is insufficient public transport. The loss of agricultural and green belt land, along with historic hedgerows and biodiversity, is concerning. The development does not adequately address the limitations of Hatton train station or the local primary school's capacity. Additionally, the plan to demolish a Grade 2 listed building and potential legal restrictions further solidify my objections.

I am formally objecting to the inclusion of Land at Hatton as a Strategic Growth Area in the South Warwickshire Local Plan. As a resident with children in local schools, I believe the development would strain local infrastructure, including roads and healthcare facilities, which cannot accommodate a large population influx. Additionally, the environmental impact, such as habitat loss and pollution, raises significant concerns. This development would also disrupt the existing community's character and quality of life. I urge the council to reconsider this site and explore alternative locations. Thank you for considering my objections.

South Warwickshire has had significant development in last five years eg Leamington and Hatton. Infrastructure cannot cope with further development.

Our road network around this area is already struggling. Having lived close to the Birmingham Road on Hatton Hill for over 20 years the increase in traffic has already added to air & noise pollution, another development would make this even more unbearable with frequent gridlock & traffic queues. The local road network cannot cope with a town this size.
I am concerned for the ecological impact of such a large development, destroying nesting habitat for birds and local wildlife, loss of countryside & environmental destruction.
Greenbelt land separating historic Warwick from the West Midlands would be lost forever.

As a resident of Hampton-on-the-Hill, I am concerned about the proposed site B1 at Hatton in the South Warwickshire Local Plan. Our village currently suffers from heavy traffic as drivers use it to avoid congestion on the A46, resulting in difficulties exiting our properties. Previous plans for a permanent ‘Haul Route’ to alleviate this were unsuccessful. The added traffic from new developments in the area has further worsened the situation. To protect our quality of life, I request that any housing development at Hatton includes a developer-funded by-pass to redirect traffic away from our village.

I believe that using the greenbelt for housing is inappropriate due to the negative impact on habitats, woodlands, and drainage. The proposed housing volume is overwhelming for the limited infrastructure in Hatton and Budbroke, especially as local services like schools and GP surgeries are already stretched. The A4177 is heavily congested, and the traffic issues from the Union View project are still unfolding. Future housing proposals should consider these factors, as the current plans seem ill-conceived and disregard our environmental concerns.

It's green belt land and threatens the rural nature of the villages and surrounding area and is a good example of urban crawl. Along with this, the transport infrastructure is completely inadequate particularly, the idea that Hatton station can be used as a valid transport hub when it is already at capacity is ridiculous. There is also a threat of flooding being caused by inadequate draining along with destroying acres of farmland and trees that has a detrimental effect on the environment.

Development is incompatible with biodiversity net gain commitments, loss of habitat will be significant and unmitigated, it will be largescale appropriate development on the green belt. Existing infrastructure is insufficient including schools, GP surgeries, nursery spaces, community playgroups and school places (including special school provision).Safety risk will be introduced from new use of narrow country lanes as bypasses. site will be visibly obtrusive from the canal tow path. It will also worsen existing problems with insufficient and ageing water supply infrastructure (attached evidence of existing challenges).

Hatton Park and Union View are recent developments both of which adds to the volume of traffic using the Warwick to Birmingham road. It is difficult now to join the main Warwick road from the Old Warwick road, particularly at peak times and this will only get worse with more housing development.
The area which includes Hatton locks, a busy tourist attraction and Hatton Country Park both of which provide pleasure to residents and visitors.

I am against the proposal for effectively building a new town on prime farmland around Hatton. This area provides an important haven and critical environmental corridor for wildlife between the M42, M40, A46. It is quality farming land which once lost cannot be replaced in our agricultural supply chain. Large amounts of ancient hedgerows/trees and wildlife habitats will be lost. Local roads (Old Warwick Road) is a windy, rural B-road. Existing hamlets and villages have strong communities who will be lost. Traffic to A46/M40 access is already over-committed with queues. Pressure on Warwick Hospital and local GPs would be untenable.

The proposed Hatton development should not have got to this stage as it should have been rejected as the development is on prime agricultural land.
Anyone that has approached WDC with a planning application in recent time in this area has had the words no development in the green belt thrown at them. So how is building 8000+ houses in the green belt even considered.

Hatton is a village, we simply do not have the local resources for this added housing. Union View has been built on water logged land which will increase flooding and more housing will only make this worse.
Houses will be built prior to any extra services, schools will be over subscribed, GP’s are already at breaking point, social care, will the government be funding more social workers or will case loads get even higher, causing more serious case reviews because workers can’t cope.

Houses can still be built using infilling in a variety of locations, as opposed to mass development of a rural area, using green belt land and causing huge disruption to local people.
Local people have already been greatly impacted by the Union View development, with long queues to get to and from work, children being late for school due to school busses being delayed. Local roads simply can not cope with this level of traffic.
Hatton is rural, let’s keep it that way.

The proposed new settlement at Hatton is disproportionate to the existing scale of development in this semi rural location. It will have a significant adverse impact on the quality of life of existing residents who will face 30+ years of disruption. The settlement would result in the joining up of the urban area of Warwick with Hatton contrary to green belt policy. There are sequentially preferable sites not located in the green belt that should come forward first before green belt land is released.

Hatton is rural and not a town.
Looking at most new build houses they have several issues where corners have been cut, how are these homes going to be any different?
They speak about crime, what big changes will be out in place to make this development any different?
Since the building of Union View there appears to be more anti social behaviour occurring in Hatton. Houses broken into to steal car keys and cars from drive ways, I’m sure local people would like efforts being out into reducing this first.

This would put huge pressure on local amenities that barely exist as it is. There are very few local shops, schools and doctors. There are no laws in place for large settlement development to actually put all of these things in place a there for the over spill into Warwick and Leamington would put too much pressure on local towns. The rail links here are small and rural and the need for this also implies the jobs are not local. use of Greenland is inappropriate and given climate change commitments by the gov is wildly irresponsible with other sites available.

Inappropriate use of green belt land when other sites are available. Negative effect on wildlife and water system and drains with drastic climate change evident. Irresponsible when there are currently not enough amenities like doctors, schools, shops as it is for local villages. Jobs are not local. Stratford has less commitment and more need. Roads and traffic are awful as it is. Flooding closed the a46 and gridlocked local roads this year. No laws to protect current locals by holding no developers to account to build more amenities, drainage schools and doctors shops. Irresponsible use of green belt

I strongly object to the Hatton development due to its significant environmental, infrastructural, and social impact. The loss of agricultural land threatens food security and increases reliance on imports, contributing to carbon emissions. Encroaching on the Green Belt endangers Warwick’s historic identity and weakens community cohesion, risking long-term social challenges. Infrastructure, healthcare, and transport systems are already overburdened, with no clear provisions for sustainable expansion. Increased pollution, loss of green spaces, and insufficient recreational facilities further strain the community. I urge the planning committee to reject this proposal to protect Hatton’s long-term sustainability and quality of life

I strongly object to the proposed development at Hatton Settlement (B1) due to its impact on the Green Belt, increased traffic congestion, and strain on local road and rail infrastructure. This large-scale development would damage the rural character of the area, harm biodiversity, and set a dangerous precedent for future Green Belt loss. The proposal is premature, lacking proper assessment of alternative sites and sustainable planning principles. Protecting Hatton’s countryside and ensuring responsible, well-planned development elsewhere should be a priority. I urge the planning authorities to remove B1 from consideration in the South Warwickshire Local Plan.
