Revised Development Strategy

My boyfriend and I just bought a house 2 months ago in Bishops Tachbrook. We purchased our home because of its tranquil and quaint village setting, and the fact that it was surrounded by open countryside. I strongly object to plans to build such a large number of homes, linking Warwick Gates with our village. Firstly, forecast studies and projections based on population growth suggest that only c.5,000 homes might be required. So why develop so many? Secondly, the village's infrastructure, it's roads, schools and small village doctor surgery, will struggle to cope. I a, certain that this will devalue the price of my property.
Building on the land would destroy an ancient and beautiful village. The visual impact will be horrific - even the Planning inspector who reviewed the the local plan in 2006 said Woodside Farm should not be built on. Development would also destroy valuable agricultural land.
Please be sensible - stop the development and don't destroy our village.
