Housing numbers not justified. Support Bishops Tachbrook PC in figures analysis.
Land with high landscape value, and 'best and most versatile' agricultural land was avoided. Modification sites not selected in same way.
Particularly relevant to Kings Hill - considered previously, rejected on green belt grounds.
Many allocated sites in unsustainable locations, away from town centre facilities, without infrastructure. Proposals allowing residents to travel by non- car means very weak. Creates more vehicle journeys with adverse impact on air pollution. Emphasis should be on high quality sustainable transport links to all development sites, including public transport, walking, cycling.
