Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 60905

Received: 16/01/2014

Respondent: Ms Jennifer Drake

Representation Summary:

Environmental impact assessment required. Additional traffic on Birmingham road would increase the already dangerous and busy road. No school facilities free nearby.The Greenbelt should not be used until all brown field sites have been used up. What are the exceptional circumstances in this case that would validate the use of Green belt land and the changing of its boundary? The overall strategy for the number of houses in the district is vastly over estimated as proved by various research submitted to the council.
The classification of Hatton Park as a secondary village is not correct and should be reassessed.

I object to any further development on or near Hatton Park for the following reasons;

1. Environmental impact - on wildlife to the preferred site option
2. The Birmingham road is already very busy and queues form regularly with the volume of traffic going to Warwick and the A46 and returning. Further housing in this area would make the road even worse.
3. There are no facilities for schools nearby as the local schools are already full.
4. There is only one small shop which is inaccessible for any houses on site 2, and too far from the proposed site.
5. The Greenbelt should not be used until all brown field sites have been used up. What are the exceptional circumstances in this case that would validate the use of Green belt land and the changing of its boundary?
6. The overall strategy for the number of houses in the district is vastly over estimated as proved by various research submitted to the council.
7. The classification of Hatton Park as a secondary village is not correct and should be reassessed.
