With regard to the increase of new homes designated to site H27 & H51 from 100 to 245 the Education , Health and Transport will be seriously affected, we are of the opinion that there appears to be a exaggeration of the amount of houses required and the preference to Green Belt than Brown sites. With Coventry unloading 4000 + on Warwick. Why on the 10/9/2014. Coventry Evening Telegraph revealed (169 Coventry Sites Short Listed By Council for Building 36,000 new homes.
The government leader P.M. Mr D.Cameron has quoted. " The Prime Minister pledges to protect precious rural Britain as house building on target to hit 200,000. Building must take place on Brownfield land as a PRIORITY. We have taken a total different approach and the protection of Greenbelt is Paramount.
George Osbourne, speaking at the Mansion House.
We have beautiful landscapes and they too are part of the heritage of the next generation to PRESERVE THEM we must make other compromises. If we want to limit development on important Green spaces we have to remove all obstacles that remain to development on BROWNFIELD sites.
1.Hampton Magna was not built on GREENBELT land it was MOD / GOVERNMENT property surplus to need and it has stayed on its original boundary not encroached further Greenbelt as Hatton Park a surplus NHS hospital site. Chase Meadow a Farm

Two developers were involved with the Hampton Magna Site. The storm/sewers were not adopted by Severn Trent till years later we have problems with electricity, power cuts one side of the village will have electric and the other will be off the sewers are connected to the existing mains and have been trouble some for years.
On Site H51 there are three main drains exposed to view the third on the lower of the site has the manhole lid and frame moved from its base and the heavy rainfall on the 9/3/2016 allowed the contents of the drain to flood we are not sure if it is sewage or storm water either, it is a health hazard. The lower of the field has had land drainage but to no avail the ditch at the base of the field had to be a back up by digging it even deeper.
On a personal level our own home nearly got flooded owing to lower gully drains sited at the end of the Close 1 metre from the curb allowing water to build up and flow over the drive under the garage door and reach the last step before entering the house I am only mentioning this to high light the poor build on the groundwork and floods are nothing new and have to be catered for like implementing road gully and ditching maintenance. Since we have had a proper drain connecting to the main drains not a antiquated soakaway that was done by the original builders.
H27/H51 both have a criss cross of public footpaths apart from getting flooded and extremely muddy they are used regularly by dog walkers, ramblers and walkers they have been in use for many years they link the Dormer land with Hatton Country World ,Norton Lindsey , Warwick Common and Hampton on the Hill. When we had the heavy rain on the 9/3/2016 the fields ,lower garden were water logged . Budbrooke Road , Woodway , Ugly Bridge Road, Church Road all flooded. Budbrooke Road being the worst and he most important for getting through Hampton Magna. The A46/Stratford/Coventry Link also had problems stationary and crawling through for 12 hours suspected lifting of road surface and coned of to single lane.
That day Warwick made the national news for floods.
The 11/3/2016 a accident at junction 16 again all lanes and rat runs in the area over run by speeding cars. Hampton on the Hill is suffering already with the excess traffic that leaves junction 15 and cuts through both to the station and the 4117 Birmingham Road. Two single decker buses collided in Hampton on the Hill last week only damage to the bus fortunately the passengers unhurt.
Hampton Magna has the only school Hatton Park will be doubling up for their children to attend which is local so it is right will there be adequate parking for them as parking at Hampton Magna is at maximum.
The Parkway Station was a good idea but in hind sight and all the parking space provided we have parking of cars on Blandford Way the nearest road to the station . Cars parked at the park by the main entrance to the school and park. Hampton Magna have not got sufficient space for our own cars there is no parking for school drop off or pick up at the school opening and closing times.
The surgery has the same problem eight parking spaces and committed to Hatton Park residents as well. The surgery staff have to park were they can.
