I am strongly opposed to the plan of allocating 100-150 new houses in Hampton Magna which is surrounded by green belt land. In RDS3 you state that the location for development should "protect green belt land" and "avoid coalescence". The green belt was established to prevent this scale of development and I do not believe we are in a position where "exceptional circumstances" should prevail.
Also in section 4.3.14 you refer to feedback from the parish council. Their report for local housing needs identified just 5 dwellings required.
I also do not agree with the need for a large number of houses to make the village sustainable. Which facilities do the district council think will close without expanding the village by about 20%.
Of the new houses how many will simply be brought by London or Birmingham commuters using the parkway station and so will not benefit existing local people.
On a practical point have the district council considered how a large 100-150 house development would be accessed? Lorries delivering building supplies would not be able to use Old Budbrooke road because of the low railway bridge and so would have to attempt to negotiate the traffic calming measures and parked cars in Hampton on the Hill.
If this consultation is being taken seriously then the district council should listen to the views of the parish council and the local residents, 830+ have signed a petition to object to your development strategy.
