FAQ

Is this anti-housing?

No. The message should be that the proposal is in the wrong place or not properly planned, not that all development is bad.

What should we say in our comments?

Keep it short and specific: say the access, traffic, drainage, and services are not properly planned, and ask for a single masterplan before anything is approved.

What should residents ask for?

A single masterplan, strategic A40 access, proper transport and drainage evidence, and full community consultation from the outset.

Is this the start of something bigger?

That is a fair concern. The developer's own material refers to a wider masterplan, so residents can reasonably ask whether this is a first phase that could open the door to more development later. That is exactly why the access, drainage, and strategic road questions matter now.
