The reasons for discounting option 2 apply equally to option 1. I regularly walk the footpaths through options 1 and 2 and can say that the noise levels from the A46 are significant in both options. Furthermore the landscape value of option 1 is higher then option 2 because of the views of the open aspect to the south afforded to existing residents of Hampton Magna.
The reasons for discounting option 6 are those of high landscape value yet the features referred to are some distance away and in some cases not even visible from the site. In fact the landscape assessment is identical to that of option 4 which is half a mile away and not even visible from option 6 so I find it hard to believe that both landscape assessments can be credible, thus making me doubt the credibility of the document as a whole. Another comment re option 6 is that of negative transport effects but I feel that it provides the best option for transport of the six options because it would not adversely affect any existing pedestrian traffic to the school.
