Representation Summary:

Re: Paragraphs 7.29 and 7.30
The area around Europa Way, Gallows Hill and Harbury Lane would seem to be an eminently sensible place to build 6,000+ dwellings (if that number is really needed!).
I don't understand the Council's concerns. Most employment opportunities are in the south, this area has good access to the M40, and the development would be large enough to fund whatever infrastructure improvements were needed. There is no reason why the markets could not deliver the required level of development here, as opposed to anywhere else.
