The Parish Council has commissioned its own Traffic Survey Report prepared by TTP Consulting.
The councils principal concern being with respect to any proposed development is additional traffic passing down
Great Houghton High Street, especially as our residents tell us that the road is busy and many drivers
use it as a rat run. You will see that the survey used ANPR technology to identify drivers passing
through the village. The Report formally shows that a significant proportion of traffic using
the High Street is through traffic.
The Report also identifies that figures used by the developers at Hampton Green may be
incorrect in that the vehicle trip generation figures indicate that only 100 dwellings have been accounted for. The total consented dwellings at Hampton Green is 525.
The council is concerned that the figures for Hampton Green may have significantly underestimated
associated levels of traffic, including that which is likely to pass through the village.
The council is seeking to ensure that the issue with respect to data for Hampton Green is verified and
altered where necessary, including within West Northants’ Strategic Transport Model and that the
level of through traffic estimated to pass down the High Street, is accurate, given that the survey
records the proportion of that through traffic.
