I neither support nor object to the use of Thickthorn land, but am surprised that a piece of Green Belt land is being sacrificed for 800 houses. I would question whether other "brownfield" sites have been identified which could replace this piece of land.
If houses are to built on this land, it's important that the woodland at the Spinney separating the Thickthorn land from the houses is retained as this provides a natural buffer from the sound of the A46. There is a blanket Tree Preservation Order on this woodland, and this should be respected.
