Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 55050

Received: 28/07/2013

Respondent: Paul Simmons

Representation Summary:

I totally object to the development of green belt land to the determent of the local population . I live in Hampton Magna and cannot understand the Councils total disregard to the natural constraints of the village - being the canal and railway and following the development of the parkway station the village is now served by a single vehicles width of carriageway ( Rail bridge adjacent to the parkway exit on old Budbrooke road).
The village itself is served by an aging and deteriorating infrastructure of sewers, fresh water pipes, and gas with frequent bursts and leaks throughout.
And in an electronic communications world - the internet is already slowed to a snails pace at peak periods .
Only when these issues are fully costed will it become apparent that a one off sweetener payment from a developer will not solve the issues raised.
A fully costed and investigate plan of brown field sites must be the councils first approach and for these reasons I reject the councils proposals.
