I am writing to express my dismay and horror at the numbers of new houses that WDC proposes to allow in the county over the coming years.
To my knowledge this is almost twice the number needed to sustain local requirements, and will fuel the ever accelerating expansion of the County's population.
If you merely respond to market forces, you will simply continue to build houses for as long as people wish to buy them. Once the housing density reaches the point where the area is no longer attractive, people will stop wishing to move here.
Why must you continue to spoil the County until nobody wants to live here?
Halve the number you propose to allow!
