Representation Summary:

I strongly object to the building of 100 new homes on this piece of green belt land. The village has seen a lot of changes since being built, and I believe 100 New homes will seriously ruin the quality of life in the village. The village has a fantastic community spirit which will probably be changed if you were to allow a large proportion of social housing to be built. The school is full to capacity and so is the doctors surgery.

I find it unbelievable that this piece of green belt land has become the preferred choice for the proposed building of 100 new homes. I would not like to see that amount of houses built in Hampton Magna. I have lived in Hampton Magna since 1969 and feel that it is one of the nicest villages in the area to live in. The village has evolved since it was built in 1967, and slowly but surely the planning decisions are helping to ruin this lovely village. The school is growing to big to cope with the amount of traffic that is forced to use Slade Hill and Field Barn Road. There have been many tales of obnoxious behaviour by parents in a hurry. No provision has been made for car parking for the school, and obviously the school will need more classrooms which will increase the amount of pupils using the school and add to parents frustration when trying to find a space to drop off their children. I am very surprised that there has not been an accident around Slade Hill with the seriously dangerous parking that you see everyday. The Slade Hill area has had its fair share of infill with the flats being built above the shops and the doctors surgery which was shoehorned in between the shops and pub car park. The Parkway Station has also added traffic to the village because it is now being used as a shortcut. I still can not believe you have allowed two housing estates to be built near Warwick with no community school for either, so adding pressure at Budbrooke School. Please find an alternative place for your housing requirements do not build on this green belt land. I also disagree with all the other proposed sites around Warwick, when you could build on the north side of the district.
