Representation ID: 53005

Received: 15/07/2013

Respondent: Ian Jackson-Clarke

Representation Summary:

All properties along development are bungalows, so properties proposed need to be small.
Only limited access to development off Arras/Daly are busy and add traffic dangerous/concentrated manner.
Arras is narrow with blind bend and I ride a motorbike, which is already dangerous plus the road access to development increases risk of accident!
Expecting to inheriting property viewing Green belt.
Only three roads into Hampton two single file bridges and last through HOTH installed traffic calming measures for 'rat run', increasing village population not helping, compounded by Parkway station traffic.
Has sewer/water/electric/gas supply enough capacity?
Slowly release land to villagers children to build not concentrated.

Object to the proposed plans to build any housing on the Green belt land behind Curlieu Close/Arras Boulevard/Clinton ave/Daly ave.
All of the properties along side the development are bungalows, so any of the properties proposed are all going to be small/low level housing hence not providing much accommodation.
Planning building restrictions have been applied to alterations of adjoining properties, so expect the same restrictions to be applied or expect claims to be submitted against previous planning restrictions/decisions.
There is only two options for access to this development off Arras Boulevard and Daly avenue both roads are busy enough and this will only add traffic in a dangerous and concentrated manner.
Arras Boulevard has a narrow blind bend around the houses, which is already dangerous and then to add the road access to this new development is only increasing the risk of an accident!
Understanding the need for additional housing I believe there are more suitable positions around the outskirts of the village and easy access options.
I paid extra money to purchase the property many years ago based on the view and being Green belt - can I claim compensation if the development goes ahead?
If there is land selected for any traveller sites should be used for permanent housing as the priority at least the council would earn income to support local services in the county.
Considering there are only three roads into Hampton Magna two are through single file bridges and the last is through Hampton on the Hill, which has already installed traffic calming measures due to the 'rat run', so increasing the village population is not going to make the situation any easier. This is all compounded by the traffic going to Warwick parkway station.
Is the sewer system, water delivery and electric/gas supply have enough capacity to support the increase in properties proposed? This is a significant increase in housing stock within the village.
We purchased our house because it was situated in a village with the significant increase in housing stock does not add up to still be called a village.
Why is land not being slowly released to villages for self build projects to provide for our children?
The parish council indicated it was not in support with this proposal, so why is it still proceeding?
