The site is entirely in the Green Belt.
It will damage the environment and destroy wildlife habitats. it will lead to an increase in traffic with more large vehicles using the roads.
In conclusion I urge the Planning Committee to reconsider the inclusion of Site SGO7? in the development plan and consider alternative sites that would have less impact on the community and the environment.

I object to the creation of an industrial/distribution area on this land. It would place too great a pressure on transport infrastructure, even if Stanks Island was upgraded.
The development of this land in addition to B1 would mean the loss of green belt resulting in no separation between Warwick and surrounding villages and the creation of continuous development from Leamington Spa to Shrewley.

The development of the Land at Hatton B1 and also the development of the area
designated SG07 will have a significant adverse effect on the area which will also extend to
neighbouring areas due to the impact of traffic both on local roads and nearby A roads and
motorways.
There has been a considerable increase in traffic on the A4177 over the last 15 years and this
road is quite unsuitable for such a volume increase particularly with HGVs.
Clearly the developments will decimate the green belt areas and farmland with unacceptable
effect on the environment so vital for everyone's mental health and life enjoyment.
The developments will create significant impact on local schools doctors and dentists practices
which are already having difficulty in coping with recent housing developments and as I
understand it schools are also currently able to cope with local demand.
Planners and developers need to have more regard to all local relevant factors and have respect
for the area and ensure developments are merely about numbers and ensure maintaining a
good quality of life for all.

A vast area of Green Belt land will be destroyed by the proposed industrial / Commercial developments. Once the Green-Belt land is lost, it is gone forever. Given the scale of the proposed development this would effectively join up the Warwick town with Budbrooke and close to Hatton, resulting in huge urban sprawl, which the designation of Green Belt is meant to protect. In addition, if approved this would set a dangerous precedent for more Green Belt land to be lost. Future developers may cite this case to justify similar projects, leading to cumulative harm.

If this proposal is approved, Hatton Parish will suffer permanent and irreparable damage:
• Green Belt land will be lost forever.
• Environmental damage will be irreversible
• Local infrastructure will be overwhelmed.
• Community character, public spaces, and biodiversity will be destroyed.
Moreover, approval would set a dangerous precedent, paving the way for further Green Belt encroachments in the future. Developers could exploit this decision to justify additional inappropriate expansions, leading to cumulative and long-term harm.
I urge the planning authorities to take this strong objection into serious consideration and reject the proposal outright.

Barratt David Wilson Homes Mercia acknowledges the benefits relating to the inclusion of a strategic growth location within Warwick District immediately to west of the Warwick town urban area. However Barratt David Wilson Homes Mercia objects to the exclusion of land immediately to the south of the Birmingham Road from Strategic Growth area 07. The exclusion of this land from SG07 has not been justified within the evidence base and therefore the approach taken accordingly is considered to not comply with the requirements of NPPF paragraph 36.
Barratt David Wilson Homes Mercia recognises that the primary purpose for proposing SG07 is to identify a broad option for the delivery of additional employment land, but considers that there is an opportunity for also delivering residential development to the west of Warwick on land to the south of Birmingham Road, where is can provide new homes immediately adjacent to the proposed new employment development at SG07 as a stand-alone growth area. The Site can accommodate c.400 new homes immediately to the west of the built up edge of Warwick town, within convenient walking distance from Warwick Parkway Railway Station and benefiting from access to existing walking and cycling connectivity, including along the Grand Union Canal towpath into Warwick town.
The Site Delivery Report also highlights where the HELAA has over-inflated potential constraints relating to the Site, and the significance of any such constraints, in the context of the development proposals for the Site. Whilst the Hatton potential new settlement has a number of challenges, not least that it is understood to extend across 10no. different ownerships, compared to 1no. ownership at its Site located to the south of Birmingham Road. It is also notable that the new settlement option B1 is shown to be ranking 9th out of the 12 new settlement options under consideration. It is important to be mindful of the recognition set out within the NPPF of the contribution that small and medium sized sites can make to meeting the housing requirements for the SWLP area, as well as the need for a sufficient amount and variety of land to be made available { National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024) Paragraphs 61 and 73}
Taking this into consideration it is contended that there are therefore significant benefits attributable to the allocation of the Site. Overall the Site is considered to benefit from very strong sustainability credentials and fits in with the rail corridor and economic growth strategies being considered by WDC in relation to the distribution of development in the SWLP. There is insufficient previously developed land and committed greenfield sites to meet the identified housing requirement for the SWLP period. The significant benefits of delivering housing from this Site in close proximity to excellent public transport (rail) and active travel networks, are considered to overcome any residual adverse impacts from such development and provide the exceptional circumstances necessary for releasing the Site from the Green Belt. The Site should accordingly be included as an allocation for housing development in the SWLP, either on a stand-alone basis or as part of a wider Strategic Growth location (SG07).
