Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 61202

Received: 20/01/2014

Respondent: Martin Teodorczyk

Representation Summary:

Hatton Park is NOT suitable for further development, but if WDC should impose their Preferred Option, measures must be delivered from Section 106 or CIL funds:

- Bespoke vehicular access direct from the A4177 using Ugly Bridge Road that does not require traffic to use existing roads on Hatton Park;
- Improvements to the A4177 at the Ugly Bridge Road junction (roundabout or extra lane) to prevent congestion caused by vehicles turning right;
- Traffic calming to allow safe pedestrian access to bus stop and petrol station;
- Develop southern part of the site only (south of dotted line) and draw Settlement Boundary accordingly.

Please refer to my other detailed representations that Hatton Park is NOT suitable for further development and that I do not support any development sites.

However in the expectation of 70-90 homes being imposed as per the proposals, the following must be considered for any development on the Preferred Option site and delivered as part of a Section 106 agreement or allocation of CIL funds as a priority:

- Bespoke vehicular access direct from the A4177 that does not require construction or scheme traffic to go through existing roads on Hatton Park;
- Improvements to the A4177 at the Ugly Bridge Road junction, either a roundabout or extra lane, to prevent congestion caused by vehicles turning right;
- Use of the existing Ugly Bridge Road as a site access and not as proposed in the Preferred Option;
- Traffic calming to allow safe pedestrian access to the nearby bus stop and petrol station;
- Development of the southern part of the site only (south of the dotted line) and drawing of the Settlement Boundary accordingly to provide a significant ecological buffer to Smith's Covert [proposals from Taylor Wimpey to develop the western two thirds are disastrous and will lead to the eastern third being delivered too in due course to make c.150 units];
