Allowing heavy construction traffic and subsequent traffic on completion (200-300 cars per 100 houses) through the village would damage the infrastructure and cause unnecessary traffic problems.
The land adjacent to Warwick Parkway station would be much more suitable as no extra traffic would enter the village and it would form a natural extension.
Already difficulties with the turn into Blandford Way due to inconsiderable parking and a difficult junction without adding extra traffic both during construction and after. Not environmentally profitable to add to existing infrastructure.
Housing development around Hampton Magna needs to be carefully considered due to the current infrastructure of the village.
If new development is necessary then it should be environmentally sustainable and not intrusive into the existing roads.
The entrance to Blandford Way already is problematic with inconsiderate parking and a difficult turning for traffic so to allow heavy construction vehicles and then extra cars due to 100 at least houses being constructed (which would lead to at least 200-300 extra cars) seems inappropriate.
It would make more sense to build next to the Warwick Parkway station so no extra traffic during construction and subsequent housing would affect the village.
