Hatton Park in my view is not suitable for development of 70-90 homes.
My concerns fall into two categories: highways and ecology.
Highways: As a key consultation theme, the council should be aware that current congestion on Birmingham Road is a very real problem. During 8-9am an extremely long, slow moving queue backs up, some days up as far as the Hatton Arms and beyond. Adding 90 or more extra vehicles will only exacerbate this problem.
Ecology: Development of the preferred site will directly impact Local Wildlife in Smith's Covert, by taking away extended habitat and feeding grounds.
