Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 54461

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Kate Slade

Representation Summary:

We strongly object to the proposal to build houses as set out in the June 2013 Revised Development Strategy Document within Hampton Magna. The scale proposed development is inappropriate in relation to the existing village population which can lead to more traffic through a local village for local people. Hampton Magna is not and will not be a commuter village. There are no exceptional circumstances to erode the green belt. Houses already in existence should be assessed and refurbished.
There has already been green belt erosion
We are also apposed to the compulsary purchase of private land to facilitate gypsy sites.

We strongly object to the proposal to build houses as set out in the June 2013 Revised Development Strategy Document within Hampton Magna. The scale of this proposed development is inappropriate in relation to the existing village population which can lead to more traffic through a local village for local people. It is busy enough in the mornings getting out of the village via the train station, increasing the traffic flow will slow this down and add to the traffic build up over the A46 into Warwick and/or onto the A46. Hampton Magna is not and will not be a commuter village. It can be sustained with the current population in this beautiful, green belt area.
There are no exceptional circumstances to erode the green belt. Houses already in existence should be assessed and refurbished.
There has already been green belt erosion i.e. Warwick Parkway Station, Hatton Park Estate, Chase Meadow and IBM, this must stop before we lose all the land and wildlife.
We are also apposed to the compulsary purchase of private land to facilitate gypsy sites. We both work hard and saved to move to this village to be part of a community and escape from the town/city life and mentality.
