The scale of the proposed development is out of proportion to the existing village in adding 200 + additional cars to the already busy Hampton Magna village and the access roads, which are already clogged in the morning with vehicles gaining access to the station and the to A46 / Birmingham road, and parents bring their children to the school and nursery.

The green belt needs to be protected and not eroded when then there are other suitable sites, where the increase and impact is less significant.

I enjoy walking in the fields surrounding Hampton Magna and viewing the wildlife and enjoying the green space. This is important to me, and why I chose to live in the Hampton Magna village 19 years ago. The school would needed to be expanded to cope with the increase in young families, which would involve further building on school land.

The surrounding area of Hampton Magna has seen development creep up upon it over the years with the development of the station, and the industrial estates.

The local facilities, such as the doctor can only just cope with appointments, and the extra housing will put further stress onto this service.

The increase in traffic on the estate would effect the lives of the families living here, with increase in noise and the road safety aspect impacting on the children cycling and playing in currently quiet low traffic roads.

The legacy of the land around Hampton Magna needs to be kept as it is, for future generations to enjoy and benefit from the rural environment in this ever increasing crowded land we all live in.

I ask that this development of Hampton Magna is stopped, please.
