This is an undemocratic decision based on the idea that if houses are built, jobs will follow, for which there is no evidence.
The Council`s preferred option is for nearly the highest growth possible despite the majority wishing for the lowest growth possible. This option would also increase the pressure on the traffic infrastructure by 10- 13%, as aknowledged in Point 3.1.20 of the Draft Infrastructure Plan. The rationale is that if there are more houses there will be more jobs; there are plenty of houses up North but unemployment there is very high. Trying to attract capital to a region is ephemeral; it may work for a short time but there are no guarantees that it will stay, so changes on this scale are very risky.
