I strongly object to this proposal, or any plans for additional housing around Hatton Park, as there appears to be no obvious consideration to:
- The fact that Hatton Park has already seen the largest growth in housing and population of any of the villages in the last 15 years - 47%
- The volume of traffic already causing huge congestion along the Birmingham Road at peak times (consideration should be made to the impact on traffic from other outlying areas, including the additional housing planned for Leamington, surrounding villages and Solihull Borough; also HGVs heading for the new Sainsburys planned for Dorridge and the M6).
- The provision of school places in primary and secondary schools. For example, the proposed additional places at Budbrook should surely draw from Hampton Magna to prevent additional traffic from Hatton Park?
- The current issues with flooding along the Birmingham Road.
- The lack of parking as sustainable prices at Warwick Parkway, Warwick Hospital, Walsgrave Hospital and generally in Warwick and Leamington.
- Impact on local wildlife in Smiths Covert.
- The nature and standards of the proposed housing and it's likely affect on value of existing homes. Are their any proposed designs or environmental and landscape standards which builders should meet?
- Likely timeline for phases of the build in relation to improvements to infrastructure, school places, community facilities to accommodate additional residents.
- Any additional community facilities.
- Any compensation offered to residents bordering any proposed site who may be directly affected.
- Any likely impact on the quality of life appreciated by the existing community because the estate isn't overcrowded or densely populated.
