Representation Summary:

How will infrastructure be provided for 3,500 dwellings at IGS plus 10,000 homes elsewhere? Will the Country Park be delivered in a timely/successful fashion? The Multi-start approach is not sustainable and may cause environmental damage, loss of quality of life, the imposition of high urban densities, and loss of soil, biodiversity, heritage, trees and ancient hedgerows, and prime food growing farmland. It is unacceptable. Multi-starts may infringe Human Rights (case law re. freedom from noise pollution in Copenhagen). Need a moratorium from growth pressures so IBC can address long term issues, e.g. resourcing major road infrastructure. Endorse NFPG points also.
