Respondent: Mrs Jacqueline Crampton

Representation Summary:

This is a huge amount of development which will destroy the area, not a "garden suburb" which is cynically used to imply it will be spacious and green. Housing sites 2 & 3 will be bought by people from out of town who value the location for rail/ motorway/ air links and form part of the global economy. It will do nothing to reduce local house prices. The amount of infrastructure required will make this a very urban environment quite unsuited to the historic entrance to this market town.
