Objective 1 is questionable in terms of the ability of the area to sustainably support large developments of new houses. Extra roads would be needed. Extra facilities (that actually materialise, not just as fictitious, rescinded inclusions in developer’s plans) such as primary health care provision, schools, nurseries and local shops are also needed. The amount of housing that this area can sustainably support, without eating into the much needed green belt land, is limited. Extra houses = more people, extra cars, pollution, overcrowded roads and loss of the essentially rural character of the area. Other objectives are good in theory.
