King Henry VIII Endowed Trust supports the objective of focussing new housing close to a range of key facilities in order to minimise the need to travel and to promote sustainable forms of transport (walking, cycling and public transport). The Trust's site at Hampton Magna (Land South of Arras Boulevard) is in a highly sustainable location, with very good public transport links being in close proximity to Warwick Parkway (rail) and the x17 bus service linking the village with Warwick, Leamington, Kenilworth and Coventry. In addition, a number of key facilities are within walking distance of the site, including Budbrooke Medical Centre, Budbrooke Primary School, Post Office and local shop, café and community centre. This is why the Council has rightly identified Hampton Magna as a Category 1 village suitable for new development 2011-2029 under policy PO4: Distribution of Housing.
