It is very simplistic to take the fact that we have a higher proportion of people who cycle or walk to work as support for high levels of growth attached to the existing town. It is more likely that people who believe in cycling and walking are attracted to live in pleasant and open surroundings and will move elsewhere if it becomes built up. You can`t extrapolate from them to the people who will be living on estates of 1,400 houses and imagine they will have the same attitudes.
