Respondent: Hatton Parish Council

We have studied the evidence on which the level of growth has been determined, and can and no basis for the conclusions that this demonstrates a need for 600 homes per annum.
A re-examination of the evidence, including information from the preliminary results of the 2011 Census (not available at the time the Preferred Options document was prepared) has been carried out; this concludes that 254 homes will be required, and forms part of the submission by Bishops Tachbrook PC. We have also studied this document and consider its conclusions more realistic, and wish to endorse it.

We feel that as the information on which future housing need has been assessed is, of necessity, largely speculative, this should be reviewed at five year intervals, and any development in village communities where opposition to this has been demonstrated, and infringement of the Green Belt should be deferred until a clear and inescapable need has been proven.
