Tha classification of villages appears to have been carried out in a purely arbitrary way, simply as a "box ticking" exercise without considering many of the relevant factors. In other words, a village is listed as Category 1 (capable of sustaining moderate development) if it has "a broad range of services and public transport to the towns" without taking any account of infrastructure limitations, or of the adequacy of the public transport. [Presumably one bus per week would suffice!] In the case of Hampton Magna, the sewers are already running at capacity and further housing would require a larger sewer all the way to the Longbridge treatment works, at enormous cost. The surrounding roads are already severely congested at peak times due partly to the nearby Warwick Parkway railway station and partly to parents from other developments such as Hatton Park and Chase Meadow - neither of which have schools - bringing their children to the school in Hampton Magna. Infrastructure levies from 100 houses would not begin to address the infrastructure inadeqacies, and the demands from the additional housing would simply make the situation far worse.
