We object to preferred site option at Birmingham Road Budbrooke and alternative sites at Budbrooke Lodge and Hampton Road, Hampton on the Hill on the following grounds which were raised at the Warwick Parish Council meetings.

We at Hatton Station do not enjoy the infrastructure which would support this kind of influx of settlement and population. We have no playing fields or playgrounds for children and teenagers, no pavements, no street lighting and very slow broadband. The local lanes are narrow and traffic such as school buses are more and more frequent, and dangerous to local rural horseback riders.

The local school at Fernculme is fully subscribed as are Snitterfield and Hampton Magna schools. Our local GP surgeries and Warwick hospital are under strain. With no street lighting and Warwickshire lighting being dimmed nighttime crime is on the increase. We are increasingly under threat from crime in broad daylight which just 5 years ago did not exist in this area. The incidents are all there to see in our neighbourhood watch scheme.

Finally, we only heard of the deadline for objection from our neighbours at number 28 since they had received an email from WDC. Why not everyone? This is a stealthy approach. Communications should be to all in the District affected in fairness to us who pay our council taxes and live here.
