The Green Belt should be protected.
The proposed scale of the development is too large.
The services in the village are already fully utilised.
An increase in population in the village will cause traffic congestion and dangers on the local roads.
As a resident of Hampton Magna for 34 years I have observed the Green Belt surrounding the village diminish remarkably in that time with the construction of Parkway Station, Hatton Park Estate and Chase Meadow. I believe the Green Belt must not be eroded further and should be protected in line with central government policy to only use green belt in "exceptional circumstances".
I believe the scale of development is inappropriate in relation to the existing village population.
Contrary to the plan the services in the village are fully utilised. The train station and its facilities are fully utilised. The school is having to expand to meet current needs. Existing infrastructure capacity should not be stretched further.
An increase in residents within the village will create more traffic congestion. There will be more dangers with traffic volumes through the village day to day.
