After attending the Parish Council meeting, the thought that I came away with was why we should suffer because Coventry fell short with new builds.

We bought our House for the reason that Hampton Magna is what it is, a rural friendly Village, why should we suffer because of shortfalls from other Councils and our Village life become part of a Town.
The traffic when problems occur on the bypass already make Hampton Magna a 'Rat run', more cars will not only make this worse, but there is pollution and safety to consider, we already have a cross section of ages in the Village and at the moment it is safe for the Young and the Elderly to walk/cross roads, there are also many domestic animals to consider. The parking around the School is already at a premium, where will all the new cars park?
The Doctors at present is a small friendly practice where they will if possible always try to accommodate you as soon as possible, how will this happen with an extended demand?
The proposed new build will also dramatically affect the Wildlife and Public footpath in the fields along with for many residents a wonderful rural view, why should that suffer, does the word 'Greenbelt' have no meaning?
The Lorries that would be a continuous blight on our lives for many years whilst the building takes place will have a long term detrimental effect on all the residents with both noise and mess along with traffic delays as the Village only has one way in and out, which then also has an effect on our day to day working life.
I really don't think this has been thought through properly, there are other sites, that are not Villages in Warwickshire that could be built on and I am very disappointed that they are not being considered instead.
