I would like to register my objection to the proposed development plans for Hampton Magna.
I have looked at the plan and the information which has been made available and have many objections which I list below:
1) The plan breaches the guidelines set down by the government which indicates that the green belt should not be built on unless there are exceptional circumstances.
2) We currently have quite a good doctors surgery which generally gives good access to a doctor when needed, the development will certainly change this situation fairly dramatically. Being aware of the general shortage of doctors it's difficult to see how the service could be maintained at its present standard.
2) The traffic within the village and with the three routes out of the village are very high at peak periods and the increase of the numbers in the plan will have a very big detrimental effect. Within the village there is a bottleneck starting at the junction of Styles Close and the Fieldbarn road and extending up Slade hill and down Woodway Avenue as far as the Daly Avenue junction. The congestion is particularly bad during the morning rush period and pick up time at the local school and due to the high numbers of parents dropping and picking up children from other surrounding villages. I know that on occasions the local buses have difficulty getting down Slade Hill due to the parking. Any increase in capacity will inevitably draw in more pupils from the outlying villages which together with the increase as a result of this development would be very problematic.
On the routes out of the village the Budbrooke Road has a major problem with the one way traffic light system at the station and at the lights onto the A7177. It also occasionally floods during heavy rain fall. When you have negotiated these hold ups you invariable join a traffic jamb which extends all the way into Warwick and beyond. The route through Hampton -on - Hill has single lane bottlenecks and problems with speed. The route going west and exiting at Ugly bridge has issues with joining the A7177.
3) I believe that there are issues with the sewers and concern that the sewage farm at Stanks farm is close to capacity and unlikely to cope with an increased demand.
4). HM30 land together with the adjacent field verges and footpaths are used by many of the dog owners in the village and others as part of a circular route for exercise. Loss of this would erode the amenity which is currently enjoye
