I wish to tender my OBJECTION to the NEW LOCAL PLAN with especial reference to Hampton Magna, as being UNSOUND.

I consider the plan to be unsound due to the dangerous increase in residential traffic that would be caused by the extension to H27 and especially the newly proposed site H51.

H51 in particular, with possible access roads being from Daly Avenue would further exacerbate an existing danger spot when exiting Sumner Close. There has always been a problem due to blind bends to the left and right of Sumner Close, (opposite the proposed site H51), highlighted recently when a house on the junction of Daly Avenue/ Woodway Avenue/ Lloyd Close was being extended. Parked construction vehicles made the situation temporarily exceedingly hazardous, which can be expected to be a constant hazard if the proposals go ahead.

Budbrooke Medical Centre and School are already stretched and the proposed increase in residents would mean that these facilities would find it very difficult to cope leading to a huge reduction in service for existing residents.

There is already a problem with noise pollution from the nearby A46 and M40. Site H51 would be much nearer to these roads and the noise pollution would therefore be considerably higher for anyone living on that site.
