Infrastructure cannot support this amount of housing in one area. This area is already congested and the evidence does not show the infrastructure work would alleviate the problem, particularly at key pinchpoints. The STA phase 3 underlines this, showing areas where traffic speeds are below 10mph. Such congestion could undermine the town centres. Buses, as an alternative, are unlikely to be sustainable as demonstrated by Warwick Gates and Chase Meadow.
