They do not care about local opinion, it does not matter to them nor to a national house builder, as long as the new government is behind them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973149502277234867.post-44670666056394090212010-11-30T12:58:50.666+00:002010-11-30T12:58:50.666+00:00I think the major flaw is that it starts from the ...I think the major flaw is that it starts from the premise that growth of these dimensions in one concentrated location is desirable. It suits the developers of course because of its convenience as a greenfield site and simple land ownership. <br />They do not say so but for the first time it has been admitted that this development will NOT be 3400 houses or even 4150 but will be over 5000. It will be created as an urban environment utilising high density techniques in a rural setting. <br />The provision of the infrastructure once so important has now been relegated to an inconsequential status now that it is so uncertain.<br />Now they are arguing that there can still be development without it.Heraclesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973149502277234867.post-44293452277763204972010-11-30T12:35:47.037+00:002010-11-30T12:35:47.037+00:00It is an interesting and upbeat statement as you w...It is an interesting and upbeat statement as you would expect from a developer. They have however, omitted those issues for which they have (a) no solution or (b) chosen to ignore.<br />You can see that it relies on Government funding for its viability. It is not justifiable otherwise.<br />The trouble is that once it is built, it cannot be unbuilt; it will be there for ever as a testimony to another failure in the planning process.Geoff Edgarnoreply@blogger.com
