In Pictures: New aerial images show progress of Hatton housing development

New aerial images have been released showing the progress of construction work at a housing development in Hatton.

The images, taken in April, offer a bird's-eye view of the development of 150 homes.

As part of the S106 planning agreement, Taylor Wimpey is paying Warwick District Council £1.6million to be invested in the area – with at least £540,000 going to highway infrastructure and measures to improve walking and cycling on routes in and to Warwick.

Ben Walker, sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey Midlands, said: “Building work at Union View is progressing well and we are pleased to share the latest aerial images showcasing the layout and infrastructure of the site.

"These photographs give potential homebuyers a clear understanding of the planned community and the thought that has gone into creating a desirable living environment.”

However, the development has not been welcomed by everyone.

Residents have raised concerns about the increase in traffic and strain on local amenities the development would have.

And during the works, construction has caused traffic problems in the area – as well as an eyesore for many neighbours.

Campaigner Elaine Kemp, who lives near the site, has raise concerns about flooding on the site. Work was halted for a bit and Warwick District Council looked into this issue but officers concluded that the site is suitable for homes.

As work continues, Taylor Wimpey Midlands is preparing to launch show homes in July.
