-If, as proposed, 90 homes are built on land with a capacity for 156, it should be possible to screen the new development from the existing, and from Smith's Covert to the north of the site. It should also be possible to provide further amenities for Hatton Park (needs for allotments and a recreational facility for older children have been identified, but no suitable site found).
-Coherence with the existing development of Hatton Park.
-Opportunity for properties suitable for 'down-sizers'.

-Increased traffic on Ebrington Drive would have an adverse effect on homes east of Charingworth Drive.
-Access from existing junctions opposite Ugly Bridge Road would create a dangerous crossroads.
-A new access from Birmingham Road would create a further hazard.
-Measures to manage surface water drainage from the existing development frequently fail, with water draining across the proposed site and on to the Birmingham Road. This problem would be compounded by the development of this field.
-Even with screening, Smith's Covert ecologically sensitive area of ancient woodland would be adversely affected by development and the loss of open country.

Development of Sites 2 and 3, to the South of Hatton Hill would be beneficial because:

-The proposed roundabout giving access to the site would improve the Brownley Green Lane Junction and enable the lay-by to become a cul-de-sac.
-An alternative access to the CART car park may alleviate parking and congestion on Canal Lane.
-An additional pedestrian/cycle access to the canal would be beneficial, although this already exists at Middle Lock and Canal Lane.
-Opportunity for properties for 'down-sizers'.

We objcet to development on Sites 2 and 3, South of Hatton Hill because:

-This would amount to ribbon development.
-Although screened to some extent from the canal, it would still adversely affect this important recreational facility. It may also set a precedent for further development.
-The canal corridor is rich in wildlife and would suffer from development.
-This community would be isolated from Hatton Park by the Birmingham Road making access to the facilities difficult.
-The proposed density of 90 homes on land with a capacity for 95 would leave limited open space, or space for additional recreational facilities.

Hatton Parish Council remains opposed to the number of homes in the overall plan as it will
-Change to the character of the District, its openness and the quality of life it affords.
-Erode the the Green Belt and loss of separation from the south-eastern fringe of the West Midlands conurbation.
-The council continues to press for a substantial reduction in the proposed scale of development, thus removing any requirement for further development at Hatton Park, or elsewhere in the Green Belt.
-The 'Exceptional Circumstances' for development in the Green Belt required by the NPPF are not met.

-Both local schools have recently been enlarged and are full.
-The community is still in the process of settling after the development of Hatton Park and the KEVII site which increased the Parish population four-fold. Further large scale development would be an unreasonable imposition on residents.
-The arguments advanced in this document that communities may benefit from the expansion have little relevance to Hatton Park.
-Development will be a burden on the local infrastructure, particularly the road networkthe proposed scale of development can only cause increased congestion to the detriment of the Town and its residents.
