Could you please forward our views ref 90 houses proposed on Hatton Park.

I appreciate there is a demand for houses in the area although it would be a shame to see the estate get bigger as there are few facilities such as schools, drs, shop of a decent size, etc.. That can cope with any further additionality.

The first option to plan them on the field facing the main birmingham rd from erbrington close we do not think is suitable due to major traffic congestion already at school run / rush hour. The roads are very pressurised. Also at the bottom of the hill it is very water logged and flooded. We walk our dogs around there and I think it could be difficult with drainage and flooding onto the main road. It is frequently flooded and boggy.

The option two placing the houses further up towards the public house the Hatton Arms I think would be more sensible if they have to be in this vicinity by Hatton, as a better position and less crowdedness with being on a large estate already, plus the flooding issues will not be apparent and the vehicles leaving at similar times will be more spread out. I think it would cause more congestion but I appreciate you have targets to meet for new housing .
