Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 52735

Received: 06/07/2013

Respondent: Mrs R Small

Representation Summary:

Traffic problems resulting from approx. 200 extra cars being driven along Blandford Avenue and the village would cause noise and safety problems. The school is at capacity and the medical centre would be unable to cope with such a high increase of people. Hampton Magna is completely unsuitable for this kind of development due to safety, noise and pollution problems. This kind of development would make the village undesirable.

We strongly object to the proposed development in Hampton Magna. It is completely unsuitable to build another 100 homes, amounting to roughly 200 extra cars belong driven through the village. There is already enough traffic through Blanford Avenue without the possibility of another 200 cars being driven (let alone the machinery that will be used in building the houses) along this and neighbouring roads. The school is also at capacity and extra homes would result in people like ourselves who already live in Hampton Magna not being able to secure a place at the school. The village would also become more unsafe for children and pedestrians due to the extra traffic coming through not to mention the increased noise levels from such a development. The crime levels would also no doubt go up. The medical centre would also be unable to cope with such a high increased volume of extra people. Also, no mention is given to the impact on wildlife.
