Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 52740

Received: 07/07/2013

Respondent: Mr Martin Cannon

Representation Summary:

Whilst the sites are suitable the infrastructure cannot sustain this development.
It would be reckless to increase development if more traffic was placed on Station Road, Hatton without widening at the two points where cars cannot pass being by oakslade farm and at the right hand bend. The sight lines where station road meet the old Birmingham road are so obscured that accidents are regular but minor.
The over-loading of the junction of the A4177 and the old Birmingham road has also led to major accidents and these need to be addressed before any development is undertaken
