I object to proposed site RefID 573. Following two recent developments there are regular water outages from burst pipes and faults. Further developments will exacerbate issues with grey water, drains, and flooding. Despite numerous repairs, systems fail due to being pushed beyond limits. They need upgrading before further developments. This covers Hampton Road, Henley Road, Old Budbrooke Road and Woodway.

The site is within Green Belt. The NPPF permits developments only in exceptional circumstances, which doesn't apply here. Several road sections in Hampton-on-the-Hill are single-lane. This causes frequent congestion, delays, and accident risk. The existing rural road network, strained by narrow lanes and heavy parking, was designed for much smaller populations and is ill-suited to accommodate traffic from new development. Local roads are used as rat-runs by drivers attempting to avoid A46 congestion, particularly around Stank’s Island/Longbridge Island and Birmingham Road. This can lead to A46 traffic backing up, worsening the situation. Other drivers shortcut to access Warwick Parkway or Birmingham Road at the Shell garage. New housing would continue to worsen the issues, leading to increased congestion, road rage, and overall reductions in road safety. Road-widening or expansion is unfeasible given the rural location and likely environmental impacts.
