Respondent: Martin Teodorczyk

Representation Summary:

Hatton Park is NOT suitable for further development.

However should this happen, I support the area as shown:

The site as shown now adequately protects Smith's Covert;
Development is best accessed primarily from the A4177 as shown;
The remaining Settlement Boundary must be drawn tightly to the existing development as shown to protect open Green Belt to the north and west of Hatton Park.

The development should contain:
Bespoke access from the A4177 to protect the rest of Hatton Park;
Improvements to the A4177 / Ugly Bridge Road junction including widening;
Traffic calming measures

Please refer to my other detailed representations, particularly DS11, H28 that Hatton Park is NOT suitable for further development.

However should this happen, I support the land area as shown because:

Revisions to the boundary from previous consultations mean that the site as shown adequately protects Smith's Covert and Ugly Bridge Road;

It is unsustainable to draw construction and scheme traffic through Hatton
Park, so development is best accessed primarily from the A4177 as shown;

The remaining Settlement Boundary must be drawn tightly to the existing development to protect the remainder of the Green Belt as shown, as land to the north and west of Hatton Park has high amenity value as Green Belt with views across the Green Belt to and from Hatton Park due to height differentials.

I suggest the following to complement this 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;
- Traffic calming to allow safe pedestrian access to the nearby bus stop
and petrol station;
