Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 61241

Received: 20/01/2014

Respondent: Mrs Laura Teodorczyk

Representation Summary:

WDC's own criteria for providing housing growth doesn't and shouldn't apply to Hatton Park based on WDC's OWN EVIDENCE:

-48% population growth 2001-2011 in locality;
-67% growth in 0-15 year-olds 2001-2011 (with corresponding growth in parents of 30-44);
-Diverse range of property sizes and styles.

The assessment of Hatton Park as a Growth Village is subjective and only JUST places it into this category.

It's surrounded by Green Belt and not suitable for development.

The existing local infrastructure is already struggling and any further development will result in additional stress.

Hatton Park amenities are insufficient and not in-line with a "secondary village."
