1. Hampton magna could not cope with the number of houses planned. The infrastructure will not withstand such an expansion.
The doctors surgery and the school are currently unable to cope! How do you expect them to cope with the proposed extra houses?

2) Traffic levels are at an all time high. You cannot get in and out of the estate easily what with the school and all of the people who think it's ok to park for days on end and walk to the train station!
My son is going to Aylesford in September and we have been advised that his bus pass will be free as it is too dangerous for children to walk or ride due to the volumes of traffic! This will be made 100 times worse if these houses were to be built

3. The wildlife will be badly affected. The more we build on green belt the more we are harming the environment! What happens to all the bats that are here?

4) there are hardly any areas left anymore for hikes and dog walks. We see a lot of walkers on a daily basis ourselves included. If we all have to start walking our dogs on the busy dangerous roads that you have already identified, how many accidents do you think will occur????

5. Children need a good environment to grow up in not packed out housing estates where the can't go out at night for fear of something happening to them. We moved here to give our son the opportunity to go out and play in the fields and not have to sit in night after night on his X box! A house I add we have just bought and no such plan showed up on searches!

6. The main and drains cannot cope now. There are constant problems.

7. There is no way any heavy vehicles could get access day in and day out on Lloyd close/ Daley avenue you must see this will be a major issue??

This is all about trying to squeeze as many houses in as possible. Please feel free to walk round and see the problems we all ready have! It will be a catastrophe waiting to happen and this needs to be looked at in depth by people who actually care and not just look at the figures and financial gains! If this is passed it will be the worst possible decision that has ever been made!

I am and never have been against building where it needs to be done and I understand we may well have a housing shortage. But the brown belt and derelict houses should be looked at and build on / renovated first!

There is lots of land around here that could be looked at first which no one would object to but this plot just seems to be an easy option for builders to make an even bigger profit!

Come up with a plan that the community are happy with and will back all the way. As at the moment you have hundreds of very angry and disappointed HOME OWNERS!!!!
