Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 54931
Received: 29/07/2013
Respondent: D Bewick
Supports the objection set out in the Petition Statement by Hampton Magna Village Action Group to RDS. In addition, the following issues need to be considered:
* Existing roads adjacent to proposed development roads are considered to be narrow and inadequate. New development will worsen existing traffic congestion, particularly relating to the school, and could be a danger to school children/the elderly living nearby and emergency services if ever required.
* No proper consideration given to appropriate access to cater for the increased traffic flow which will be generated.
* Impact on existing local amenities and the capacity of the school which are inadequate.
* impact on wildlife habitat in the local area ?
* Fear of increased crime in the area once the proposed traveller site on the A46 northbound is constructed. This new development will virtually link us directly with the traveller site. Experienced theft from car, and theft of car following opening of Warwick Parkway.
I am a resident in Daly Avenue, Hampton Magna.
I have attended the local public planning forum held in the Community Centre in the consideration of the major development proposed at Hampton Magna and wish to object, having given the matter serious consideration.
I support the objection set out in the Petition Statement by Hampton Magna Village Action Group set out in the June 13th Revised Development Strategy document within Hampton Magna. Several issues were raised and you, of course, already have a copy of this document.
In addition to this objection statement, the following further issues need to be considered:-
a) The residential area surrounding the school and adjacent to the new proposed development was principally built in the 1960's and 70's. The width of the roads at that time were such to take the existing development and in reality, as time has moved on, these roads are considered to be narrow and inadequate. There is already substantial traffic congestion, particularly relating to the school. Further development will increase the congestion and could well be a danger to school children/the elderly living nearby and emergency services if ever required.
We do not believe that the development proposals have had proper regard to appropriate access to cater for the increased traffic flow which will be generated. This is a very serious objection.
b) My other objections relate to local amenities and the capacity of the school which are clearly inadequate for this new development so will have to be positively addressed.
c) What about the wildlife habitat in the local area ?
d) There is also the matter of increased crime in the area once the proposed traveller site on the A46 northbound is constructed. This new development will virtually link us directly with the traveller site.
We objected to the installation of Warwick Parkway a few years ago for the same reason. Literally within weeks of Warwick Parkway opening, we had our vehicle broken into one week and the following week the vehicle itself was stolen and found in Birmingham. On both occasions the vehicle was parked directly outside my house.
These are just a few of my MANY concerns.
