1) With these latest modifications now showing a proposal of 245 extra homes at Hampton Magna, bringing with it a foreseeable additional daily movement of vehicles in excess of 500, we strongly urge, even at this late stage, serious rethink on the effect this would bring to the village area.

2) An overview of the Village area shows three entrances: -

* The main entrance being that from the Birmingham Road, encountering, traffic light controlled - single lane - height restricted railway bridge.

* The second entrance, located further up the Birmingham Road alongside the filling station, is nothing more than a single traffic - lowly country lane - passing over a single lane weight restricted canal bridge - and going under a single lane height restricted railway bridge.

* The third entrance, is that passing through the small village of Hampton-on-the-Hill. This route is disciplined by a weight restricted, single lane - chicane controlled traffic flow - and is nothing more that a small country lane.

3) Taking these factors fully into account, it is therefore inconceivable that any authority would propose and support the implementation of a development that would result in serious consequences, due to the large increase in daily movement of traffic within the confines of these extremely restrictive approaches.

4) We state again that a rethink on this complete proposal of development within the village, must be carried out on an urgent basis.
