Representation Summary:

The development would put extra strain on already sub standard sewage system.
The development of Hampton Magna would change a quiet village in to a danger zone with the increased traffic on the roads. The roads are already at capacity and cause total gridlock around the Birmingham road area let alone the danger to children in the village.

Full text:

I object to the proposed housing development of the land south of Lloyd close, Hampton Magna. On the councils own admission the sewers are too small and the pipes are sub-standard. Nothing has been done to correct this.

The roads are totally inadequate and are incapable of taking the increased traffic, if more cars are put on these roads it would increase the number of accidents. There are accident black spots such as the entrance into Hampton On The Hill and a number of other blind bends. These are dangerous enough at the moment without increasing the volume of traffic.

The school numbers are up to maximum. The medical facilities in the district are already over stretched.

We bought the property in Hampton Magna due to the land we over look being Green belt as many neighbours did too, thinking the view would be protected. There are a number of old oak trees and wildlife that would be destroyed if the development went ahead. The extra housing would have a big impact on the air pollution around the village and turn a quiet village in to a over populated sprawl.
