-If, as proposed, 90 homes are built on land with a capacity for 156, it should be possible to screen the new development from the existing, and from Smith's Covert to the north of the site. It should also be possible to provide further amenities for Hatton Park (needs for allotments and a recreational facility for older children have been identified, but no suitable site found).
-Coherence with the existing development of Hatton Park.
-Opportunity for properties suitable for 'down-sizers'.

-The traffic on this main road is horrendous especially at school time. Another 90 homes could generate 200 cars trying to get on to the road. It is a nightmare to try and get out of our drive. The 40mph speed limit is not adhered to.
-Crossing the road is dangerous.
-Both schools, Budbrooke and Ferncumbe have expanded but are full to capacity, where will the extra children go?
-Water builds up and the area is prone to flooding.
-It is difficult to get out of the Ugly Bridge junction never mind an island or traffic lights.

-The land is significant to the eco water system, liable to flooding and is home to a variety of wildlife
-Traffic volume on the A4177 is already an issue and is recognised as 1 of 10 hotspot roads for higher than average amount of accidents. 90 dwellings would worsen this.
-A4177 regularly floods due to insufficient drainage.
-Vehicles park up at the side of the road during school drop-off/pickup times to the bus stop adjacent the A4177 island causing an obstruction to traffic.
-Schools and local hospital are already at capacity. Doctor's surgery would be an issue.

-The existing Hatton Park development was increased in size from the original proposals.
- Traffic on the Birmingham Road it is already at breaking point.
-Poor infrastructure services (History of regret from the high ways department carrying out maintenance, examples can be supplied.)
-Destruction of the Green Belt, eroding the land between Hatton and Warwick.
-After living at this address for 13 years any increase in developments will have a direct impact on safety of drivers/pedestrians along the Birmingham Road. (Currently it is dangerous to try and cross the road).

-The Road Infrastructure limitations
- The A4177 from Hatton Park to Warwick is already extremely busy and gets regularly congested at rush hour. On a standard day traffic is heavy and slow but it only takes road works or an accident to cause gridlock. Building additional homes on Site 1 would worsen this. This is exasperated if you consider the additional homes proposed for Budbrooke - the cars from these homes will all filter onto the A4177 by the A46 junction.
-Facilities - The schools around the area are already full.
I would like to register my objection to the proposed development at Hatton Park for the following reasons:
1. The Road Infrastructure limitations
- The A4177 from Hatton Park to Warwick is already extremely busy and gets regularly congested on week days during rush hours. On a standard day traffic is heavy and slow but it only have to take road works in Warwick or some form of accident, and the road is gridlocked. Building additional homes on the Hatton Park site would only add to this burden.
- The above point is exasparated if you consider the additional homes proposed for Budbrooke - the cars from these homes will all filter onto the A4177 by the A46 junction and cause even more chaos
2. Facilities
- We have young children and will soon be thinking about schools - the schools around the area are already full so bringing even more families into the area does not make sense.
3. The discounted options (site 2) is I understand, also being considered. This site should not be developed because
- it would be much visible and unsightly due to the fact is is on a hill side
- there would increased light pollution as a result
- the development would set a precedent building close to the canal and damaging all the eco system.
- it would encourage children to cross the buy A4177 road leading to inevitable accidents and potential death
I trust these objections will be considered and the proposal to develop at Hatton Park discounted

Our concerns regarding the proposal on Site 1 are regarding issues around Green Belt erosion, increased traffic (particularly along Birmingham Road), pollution (hedgerow removal and traffic), noise, potential for more accidents near Ugly Bridge, danger of electricity supply which often suffers failure. We are also strongly against a road access from Birmingham Road to the proposed expansion of Hatton Park- if development of Hatton Park is unavoidable then access to the new housing should be from within the estate via Charingworth Drive through Ebrighton Drive, thus distinctly separating the designations of Budbrooke and Hatton Park.

Objects to Site 1.
I have recently received a leaflet regarding the proposed development of land between Hatton Park and Canal Road, unfortunately this is the first information I appear to have received. The leaflet provides a clear illustration of a second plan (2) but not for plan 1 (7.7ha )
I would like to know if there are any consultation notes available from any previous meetings. Can you also advise if there are any meetings planned before 20th January which I understand is the end of the consultation period.
I believe I am not alone in my ignorance of what is being propose ( I have spoken to several neighbours who are also unaware) and I am disappointed that this is the case. The leaflet proposes an alternative site which appears to have less impact on the current housing population and pedestrian accesses. If this is the only alternative then I support this plan (2) on the leaflet and wish to register my objection to site 1(7.6 ha in area).
Can you also send me a full plan of what the proposal site 1 ( 7.6 ha) looks like for the councils preferred location, as from the leaflet it is a much larger site and if history is anything to go by, the development of 70 -90 homes will quickly expand to maximise the site and provide the council with more revenue.
Can you also send me the original notification that was sent to all home owners in the area regarding this proposed development and why and where the request for additional housing comes from, or in truth is it that the council simply looking to increase its revenue from new housing!
I apologise for my email requesting so much information, but I do feel, along with many others that we have been left in the dark regarding these plans.
If I was allowed a voice I would strongly object to any further development in the Hatton Park area

Thank you for taking the time to read my email, and I look forward to an early response

-The local infrastructure is inadequate to support a large development of 70 - 90 homes.
-The impact and potential ruin of the landscape, erosion of valuable irreplaceable Green Belt will only set difficult precedents for greedy developers to seek further expansion.
-More traffic, noise and pollution along Birmingham Road can only increase the number of accidents known as blackspot and bottleneck of Ugly Bridge/Shell Garage. New access roads will bring further danger.
-Flooding is already a major issue on the Birmingham Road. The site acts as a drainage point. It is close to a flood-plain designation.

-Increased traffic on Ebrington Drive would have an adverse effect on homes east of Charingworth Drive.
-Access from existing junctions opposite Ugly Bridge Road would create a dangerous crossroads.
-A new access from Birmingham Road would create a further hazard.
-Measures to manage surface water drainage from the existing development frequently fail, with water draining across the proposed site and on to the Birmingham Road. This problem would be compounded by the development of this field.
-Even with screening, Smith's Covert ecologically sensitive area of ancient woodland would be adversely affected by development and the loss of open country.
