they actually listened to us and the planning office just pulled both the Aston and New road proposals completely. i am still shaking a bit because i really thought we were going to be fighting this for years but instead here we are with a win. please keep an eye …
I keep refreshing the page because the momentum is actually kind of overwhelming and I honestly keep thinking about how much Bampton is going to change if this keeps up. It feels like the neighborhood is finally talking all at once and it really makes me think these developers might have actually bitten off more than they can chew.

Bampton is a beautiful village with a unique tradition. Development on the proposed scale will be the beginning of the end. Any development should be more appropriate regarding scale and style.

The proposed developments for Bampton are too large for the current infrastructure of roads, doctor's surgery and school, which are at capacity. Many houses planned are 3-5 bedroomed, not the affordable housing that is needed by locals or necessary accommodation for the elderly. Flooding and traffic, already problems will greatly increase and ruin the village and community.

Bampton has contributed enough land for housing over the past years enough is enough no way no more, Bampton is turning into Carterton mark 2 no thanks.

The approach raods to the shcool are
choked at pickking up and dropping off times to the school..I live in Chandler Close and have to pick my time as it is
to get home or go out..More houses more congestion. Water pressure at
Chandler close is already low at times
more houses less pressure ..No thank you.

WODC planners have consistently stated that large scale developments such as these are not needed in Bampton and are not sustainable. Nothing has changed since these statements were made, other than pressure by the Government to build on Greenfield sites. We need a small number of houses for our own people, in the right location, not big scale development.

We do need housing in Bampton - but not this many in these locations. We need local housing for local people - not to profit property speculators who live hundreds of miles away.
