I think the new homes will have a Detrimental effect upon residential amenities. Hampton Magna is a small village where everyone knows each other and increasing its size by 1/3rd with a lot of unknown people moving in will have a negative impact on the character of the area. Also I do not feel Hampton Magna has the infrastructure to deal with such a large expansion- Old Budbrooke Road is the only access to the village and this will not be able to sustain the amount of traffic created not to mention all the work vehicles required to create the development. I think the village will suffer from over-development and I doubt very much that the new development houses will be in keeping with the style of houses already in the village....they will o doubt be squashed together in effect creating a "them and us" situation between existing housing and new housing.
I am concerned about the extra noise that will be created during the building of the development, particularly as my husband is a police officer and works shifts and has to sleep in the daytimes.
I am also concerned about any adverse impact the local plan will have on protected trees- I need assurance that the tress will remain and I sincerely hope that the council will be carrying out a wildlife survey to take into account the local Bat population.

I am not convinced hampton Magna has suitable drainage To sustain a new development- Old Budbrooke Road frequently floods and building on fields near that will only add to the problem as there will be nowhere for the excess water to drain to.
I am also concerned about the impact on Budbrooke School which at present does not have enough room to house any more children. The extra houses will inevitably increase the school population and class sizes and have a detrimental impact on community feel of the school.
