I object for the following reasons:
1) Traffic congestion on the A4177. It can take up between 10- 15 minutes to exit the estate in the morning at the moment. With the addition of more houses this would just get worse.
2) The risk of additional flooding on the A4177. The road floods now and the building of more houses may increases the risk of more flooding on a very busy road.
3) Environmental impact- Birds of prey, bats and wildlife feed and live on that field. The building on this field will be a permanent and irrevocable loss to all of these creatures.
4) Infrastructure plan- I cannot see how the local schools, doctors and hospital will cope with an increase of houses. Both Ferncombe and Budbrooke schools are full.
5) I do not agree with how Hatton Park has met the criteria of being a secondary service village. Our local shop is not a supermarket.
6) We already have a suitable mix of houses and Hatton has already contributed approx 800 homes in the last 15 years.
7) The houses built on that land would probably use the shell garage as their local shop. This road is dangerous to cross now. It would be dangerous for those crossing the road and also for motorists.
8) Traffic would cut through Edbrimgton Drive. This would be a hazard for residents and also create congestion in this area.
9) I cannot see how existing local services can support any new development. With the austerity measures set to continue this will only get worse.
