It is unclear why the Claybrookes have been identified as a Selected Rural Village, they don't appear to meet the criteria either individually or collectively. One pub at the extreme northern and of Magna and a primary school in Parva that will soon be at capacity (following the latest housing development consent in Magna) does not appear to constitute selection as an SRV and subsequent opening of opportunities to developers. The commute to the school in Parva by Magna residents requires a long walk through an unlit stretch of road where traffic flaunt the 30mph speed limit. The road is particularly dangerous between late October and late February. Understandably parents prefer to drive their children to school. causing dangerous congestion on the tight bend outside of the School. This is already an accident waiting to happen without the already approved developments, let alone more.
