Full text:

Size and timing of development.
11,000 homes is NOT appropriate,the current village and surrounding infrastructure will not cope with that many.

Heights of development.
Maximum height of two storeys.

More open space nearer existing village.
Yes,we were promised Bannold Rd. wouldn't be built on and look what's happening!

I don't agree with the railway station being relocated irrespective of the new town becoming larger than the existing village.

The A10 must be upgraded before any development is started as it's already overcrowded and extra development traffic will bring it to a standstill especially at peak times.

Construction traffic must be banned from using the village,it's already painful with the ongoing development in Bannold Rd,the surface of the road has been wrecked.
