New towns should be just that, not encroaching and enveloping current villages, many of which appeared in the Domesday Book, and upsetting their infrastructure. Current infrastructure is not developed enough for huge expansions for water, sewage etc. Two examples are Old Budbrooke Road adjacent to Hampton Magna where Severn Trent have frequently been called out to repair leaks in the last couple of years, and Lighthorne where Moreton Morrell Lane has been closed as ST are having to take sewage away from the pumping station in tankers as it cannot cope. This has led to severe deterioration on the road causing closure as it is unsafe for vehicles to use. This would happen if local communities are overrun with new development using existing country lanes, which have been in existence for centuries and cannot cope with modern traffic. Brand new developments would have roads and infrastructure built and suitable for current needs.
