There is NOTHING right about Taylor Wimpey’s proposal…it’s simply developer greed and NOT community need

This should never be allowed,it is taking away farm land that contributes to the town and surrounding areas.plus these are villages we don’t want to be living in amongst 7000 concrete houses.

I live in the area and it is heavily farmed and we need to allow the farming to continue to have some level of food security. In addition the area already struggles with infrastructure for the current population of Taunton and surrounding areas.

Just too much development for the area.

A RIDICULOUS size development for a town that has already reached or surpassed saturation point. Devastating a beautiful landscape and agricultural productive land. No infrastructure, lack of reservoirs, and a motorway that cannot cope........it seems to be closed on a daily basis!

Destruction of pristine countryside, if anyone walked this area they would be in complete astonishment that someone would want to destroy it, absolutely disgusting proposal.

SSSI and AONB must be protected to a 2km radius. This means the building must not and cannot happen. Housing growth should be organic and no more than 10% in the first 5 years and no more than 20% over the full life of the project.

As someone who grew up in the area it it heartbreaking to see so much land being built on.

The destruction of the local villages and surrounding countryside that the proposed development will have is massive and benefits only the developers. Unwanted , unnecessary and heartbreaking.
