Representation ID: 54588

Respondent: Mr Charles Cain

Representation Summary:

Resident at Hatton Park and raises concerns about the possibility of further development of the area.

Objections are based on:
* Any further development adjacent to the A4177 will mean that traffic congestion both into Warwick and onto the A46 will be intolerable. Hatton Park residents currently experience long tail backs getting onto the main road in the morning. Further development will only increase traffic on the busiest A Road in the district. Drainage and sewerage for Hatton Park will also be affected;
* The provision of services cannot be maintained. Further development in this area will put a huge strain on schools that are already oversubscribed, health provision such as doctors and dentists will also be degraded as local surgeries are full to capacity;
* The environmental affect on this area cannot be ignored. The area is an important Green Belt area. It is a local tourist attraction with the hatton locks providing Warwick with important additional tourist footfall after the castle. Further development in this area will affect local wildlife and detract from a very attractive countryside break between Warwick and the border with the West Midlands.

As a resident at hatton park I would like to raise my concerns about the possibility of further development of the hatton park area.
My objections are based on three things.
Firstly any further development adjacent to this stretch of the A4177 will mean that traffic congestion both into Warwick and onto the A46 will be intolerable. Hatton Park residents currently experience long tail backs getting onto the main road in the morning. Further development will only increase traffic on the busiest A Road in the district. Drainage and sewerage for Hatton Park will also be affected.
Secondly the provision of services cannot be maintained. Further development in this area will put a huge strain on schools that are already oversubscribed, health provision such as doctors and dentists will also be degraded as local surgeries are full to capacity.
Thirdly the environmental affect on this area cannot be ignored. The area is an important green-belt area. It is a local tourist attraction with the hatton locks providing Warwick with important additional tourist footfall after the castle. Further development in this area will affect local wildlife and detract from a very attractive countryside break between Warwick and the border with the West Midlands.

My family and I are strongly against further done elopement in the Hatton Park area.
