Objection on the basis that the site of Hatton Park simply cannot cope with further traffic associated with further development and the Birmingham road is already over congested.
Also concerns regarding safety of children, pollution, flooding with risk of accidents, and impact on wild life, and quality of lives of local residents.
I strongly object to this proposal.
Anyone cueing along the Birmingham road in the mornings towards Warwick, or exiting Hatton Park on work day mornings will know that there is simply no further capacity for the roads to cope with further development on Hatton Park.
Additionally, if there is an accident on the M40, (which there was 3 times in 2 weeks before Christmas) the length of cueing traffic is excessive, and is sheer gridlock.
I have concerns for safety of school children crossing the road to their bus stop, 'dodging' cueing traffic, trying to exit from Hatton Park.
The pollution impact is a concern from this standing traffic.
I also have concerns regarding the impact on flooding along the Birmingham Road, with such potential development, and the risk of accidents as a result.
The impact on local wildlife will be significant, which will have a knock on affect on residents well being.
If the council have stated in the past that development will not take place on this site due to the road capacity, how can this decision be reversed?
