Testun llawn:
We are strongly objecting to the proposed building of a large number of houses in Hampton Magna.
Road Infrastructure:-
Hampton Magna is only accessible by three roads, one has a bridge with a restricted height and single file traffic controlled by traffic lights, one has a weight restriction bridge on it, and the other is through the village of Hampton on the Hill which has already had to have traffic calming measures put in place since the opening of Warwick Parkway.
In recent years Hampton Magna has had to accommodate a considerable amount of increased traffic due to the building of Hatton Park and Chase Meadow both of which do not have Schools therefore meaning children are transported in and out of the village by vehicle on country roads which were not intended for such high volume of traffic.
Warwick Parkway has also had an impact on the village - we constantly get cars parked on junctions causing a danger to pedestrians and villagers trying to get into their homes.
Budbrooke School
Budbrooke School is also over capacity meaning a portacabin is to be moved onto site during the Summer Holidays to resolve current classroom numbers and that is without building any more homes. Our concern is increased traffic and inconsiderate parking by people from outside of the village who have to use cars to deliver and collect their children. This can already be observed on a daily basis if you have to go anywhere near the school at start or finish time.
Green Belt Land
We also object to the development on Green Belt Land, we have already had Warwick Parkway built on Green Belt, and the station has already had to increase its car parking to meet the demand.
Over Development
The scale of the proposed development is inappropriate for the size of the existing village population and its facilities.
Utilities
We also have concerns as to whether the current sewage system could cope with an additional estimated 150 homes, meaning potentially 300+ additional users, as Hampton Magna has had problems with the pipes in the past.
In Summary our objections are:
1. Increased traffic- flow on already overcrowded country lanes - road infrastructure.
2. Further development of School to accommodate increased numbers.
3. Green Belt erosion.
4. Over development of existing village.
5. Incapacity of sewers.
