There has been a lack of consultation with the community in Hampton Magna regarding the changes. The Council has not publicised the modification process and documents are full of jargon. The consultation was run over Easter and the documents were not available until after the consultation had started.
The plan is not justified as the allocation for Hampton Magna and Hatton Park exceeds what is needed; these sites are not well connected to Coventry; the level of growth for Hampton Magna is 41%, the highest of an village; the Council have not fully considered potential at Bubbenhall.
the plan is not positively prepared because the assessments undertaken in 2014 have not been updated and include contradictions; there is not assessment of local transport issues; other sites such as that adjacent to Central Ajax have been overlooked.
The proposals are not consistent with national policy because there are insufficient exceptional circumstances for removing the land from the green belt.
Roads in to Hampton Magna are narrow and congestion will increase as a result; the modifications do not take account of physical infrastructure; sewerage and drainage problems persist around Hampton Magna; bats are present in the area; development of this scale in a village will increase car dependency, air pollution and light pollution; there are no plans to increase community facilities, including GPO and school; the site is a valued amenity space.
