I completely endorse the objections raised by the Hampton Magna Action Group. However, I wish to emphasise some of the points raised under ' sustainability'.
These are:

- Convenience of travel to Coventry. if the extra housing is designed as overflow for Coventry, then it's a poor choice, particularly for public transport as there are no direct routes: by bus is a minimum of two hours and by train one hour plus a twenty minute walk to Warwick Parkway. So people will drive, thus adding to the nightmare of the junctions at Warwick Parkway, the traffic lights at the A4177 Birmingham Road and Stanks' Roundabout at rush hour and green house gases.
- Access to sites H51 and 27. Is planned to be through the village on residential roads and where there is already gridlock twice a day at the school's opening and closing times (Woodway Avenue, Cherry Lane, Slade Hill and Field Barn Road. The addition of vehicles for 145 new homes, preceded by heavy construction traffic will make flow through the village impossible.
A right of way around two sides of H51 should be noted.
- Parking. Is already an issue in the village; Warwick Parkway commuters, patients for the Surgery, parents delivering and collecting their children from the school. Developers never plan sufficient parking and undoubtedly there will be overflow on to village roads causing more gridlock and problems on the 68 bus route.
- Road Infrastructure. The roads and lanes giving access to Hampton Magna, particularly through Hampton on the Hill, have become rat runs for Chase Meadow residents and are already dangerous for cyclists, ramblers and dog walkers. The addition of vehicular traffic from the extra 145 homes will only increase the danger to unsustainable levels.

The location of these 145 extra houses on H27, and H51, which was previously rejected by WDC, turns Hampton Magna from a viable community, surrounded by farmland into another amorphous mass of housing overflowing from Warwick.
