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.
