Representation Summary:

The local infrastructure around Hatton Park cannot support another 80 homes, and is supposedly Green Belt Land, the additional homes are not 'exceptional conditions' as required by the National Planning Policy Framework. Local schools are full and cannot accept any increase in the school age population. The traffic on the A4177 during peak periods is already high, making access to the road difficult at times and the road is typically congested down to Shanks Island and the A46. The additional traffic will increase this problem unless additional traffic management is added. The A4177 is prone to flooding and has been the scene of two fatalities recently.
