Exceptional circumstances for altering the Green Belt north of Milverton have not been demonstrated. The Park and Ride scheme is unsustainable without dedicated buses and it is too close to the town where shoppers have ample parking. (Only Oxford has a scheme which works because city parking is so limited). Much of the A452 traffic goes south to the major employment sites anyway. It would be better sited on the A46/A452 roundabout.
The proposal for a railway station is deeply flawed and not viable, as construction is not practical in such a deep cutting in Old Milverton.
