Regarding proposed increase in new homes from 100 to 245., at the above location it will hugely increase the population, and strain the infastructure.
Both locations are Green Belt, I understand that David Cameron pledged protection of Green belt. What sort of a legacy are we leaving for future generations if we build on Green Belt.????? In the Mansion House speech, George Osborne stated in 2014 that there is enough Brown field land in England for 2.5 million new homes , a large proportion of which are in London , so why not build on them???? Also he stated we are a small crowded island keen to protect our green spaces.
There are ALWAYS infastructural issues here with, water leaks, drainage and sewer problems , roads and narrow lanes with potholes , school, and doctors surgery .
Flooding on 9th March on A46 , and the Budbooke Road, caused traffic to come to a standstill all around here, there have been no improvements at all over the years we have lived here , and we now have M40 producing more traffic on all adjacent roads and lanes with the pollution and noise that goes with it., plus Warwick Parkway Station. Train users park all over the place in Hampton Magna causing obstruction. All we have is a country lane in and out of the village unable to cope with all this traffic., and a confusing traffic lights sequence at the junction on the Birmingham Road. A4177. If there was to be a major emergency think the fire, ambulance and police would have difficulty arriving quickly here.
What are your reasons for not considering land off Hampton Road 43 Acres SP2663 3057 which was available for purchase round about August 10th 2015.???? or land at Stanks Farm adjacent to Warwick Parkway. Both of these sites are nearer to the main roads and Motorway.???? and will interfere much less with Hampton Magna .
Instead of viewing beautiful GREEN BELT, green fields, vegetation, hedges and trees, visually the new housing will cause gross disturbance while it is being built, visually it will be unattractive as we look down on field H51, and we will be exposed to much much more air pollution, noise pollution. Instead of hearing sky larks and seeing many wonderful birds, including swallows swifts and house martins . Yesterday I saw 2 buzzards and a wren, sparrows, starlings dunnocks, blue tits, longtailed tits and great tits , and wildlife, we have bats ,which we see every summertime, plus frogs, toads, moles, shrews and field mice,hedgehogs , grass snakes and deer. Also the wild flowers along the hedgerows. Where will all this wild life disappear to???????
There has been a huge increase in noise levels particularly the last 10 years or so from the M40 and of course more traffic on the A46,, particularly in the summer when we would like to be in our garden and be able to leave a bedroom window open overnight, unfortunately because of too much traffic noise we are unable to do this anymore , this can only get much worse ,
Public safety issues. Hampton Magna is a village of pensioners who have lived here since Hampton Magna was built as a new 60,s village on the Budbrooke Army Barracks. home of the Warwickshire Regiment .., They may have visual, hearing or mobility issues and there are lots of young families., where the children can play safely outdoors.
.It has always been a safe place to live., no dangerous avenues or roads, very little crime ,theft, vandalism and drug issues. We would very much like to keep it that way.
HOW THIS AFFECTS US PERSONALLY
Our property at one point is not much more than a meter from the hedge boundary.
Our house at the back is facing SSW we have 5 windows and 3 french windows overlooking H51 what about our gross lack of privacy .
Gross loss of day light and sunlight.
House would be overshadowed by this development.
Street lights will be blasting out instead of a dark open space .
Increased risk of vandalism and crime because of the public footpath along the length of the hedge, as will end up being a cut through instead of a pleasant fields and hedgerows and public footpaths for ramblers, dog walkers and families.
Woodway Avenue will become a dangerous road too for adults and children alike due to the extra daily volume of traffic , already with residents cars, visitors cars, school parents cars , tradesmen and cars from the Station parked all over the place it is becoming more congested....
I accept that there is some need for new housing in Warwickshire, but NOT the huge amount that seems to be happening all over the county, why cant you build on Brown Field sites first.????
In Hampton Magna certainly a small amount of housing suitable for first time buyers might be appropriate plus some sort of suitable dwellings for older couples and singles,WITH some outside space, maybe with a balcony . NOT rabbit hutch size retirement dwellings or flats.. If you want to encourage residents out of their nice 3 and 4 bed houses here in Hampton Magna you need to build something that will have appeal, freehold too. that they can buy . There are many many folk here that have lived in Hampton Magna since it was built nearly 50 years ago. and have no intention of moving away from here. great care and thought should go into the final plans of what is chosen to be built here.
Do hope that this can be sorted out. We are really concerned about the future ,once Green Belt is built on it has GONE FOREVER, for future generations , we are custodians of this beautiful green and pleasant land and should respect and look after it.. All this construction on Green Belt in Warwickshire., and the rest of the country., just cannot be the right way to do things.
