This level of growth (both options 1 and 2) will have a devastating impact on the local environment and loss of greenbelt. They are both way over the level of growth preferred by local people and I see no evidence to suggest that this is necessary. Given that we will be in a recession for the next 10 years, what is the point in aiming for this level of growth with the unnecessary loss of amenity to local people? We are not expecting the required level of increase in employment or personal finance to enable this number of people to buy new houses in these huge numbers. Look at the number of unsold new homes on the market in the county already. It is totally unrealistic to expect developers to first build, and then sell, this number of homes in the county year on year. Aim for something that is more achievable and closer to the lower level of growth chosen by local people in previous consultations. And save our precious greenbelt in the process!!
