Hampton Magna is a self-contained village, surrounded by greenbelt. We do not need or want more homes in this village. I attended the consultation meeting in the village and all residents who attended objected to new houses being built here (a poll was taken in the hall). The changing of greenbelt boundaries was a specific concern, as was the number of school places, traffic in and around the village, congestion on the A4177 outside the village, parking problems, limited amenities within the village which could not support a large influx of additional residents. It is supposed to be council policy that villages/towns do not merge together and remain distinct. If a large development (which 100 houses would be) was added to Hampton Magna then we would be in danger of merging eventually with Warwick or other villages or becoming just a suburb of Warwick.
