The authorities need to insist developers build on brown field sites first and improve the infrastructure to cope with the existing population before even considering building more houses.

Brownfield sites in Taunton, enough for 8000 houses available so this should be built on first, not taking agricultural land east of the motorway. M5 is a demarcation line for no development east.
The Crown sold it as agricultural and Taylor Wimpey paid agricultural price for it.

The infrastructure is already unusable as it is in Taunton. Try and get an NHS dentist, you can't. Try and get a doctors appointment, wait a month, then wait another month or more for a blood test, then a month again for the results. This area should be preserved as it is, enough of the urbanisation of farmland and woodland areas.

I work in the area and don't want the beautiful surroundings to be unnecessarily spoilt. Taunton is already struggling with the growth of housing and amenities not being provided to carer for the expansion.

This is not a sustainable development and will ruin good land ment for agriculture. It will overcrowd and overpopulate this area. There are many brown field sites suitable for development and this is not one of them

It would be a tragedy to cover this beautiful rural space with buildings. Keep development west of the M5.

Huge development which take away farmland and wildlife also will increase global warming we need to keep our farmland to help reduce our carbon footprint by growing our own food especially in the current climate of the state of the world. Also a huge impact of the villages and the Blackdown Hills as they will gradually disappear

The Blackdown area is an outstanding wildlife area and habitat, that is of massive importance to the local wildlif ; otters, bats, butterflies a diverse and rich habitat...build elsewhere! Don't destroy areas of outstanding natural beauty that have survived 100s of years supporting floral and fauna, its sacrilege!

Developing such a vast new town in such beautiful countryside and so close to the Blackdown Hills AONB must be prohibited.

The whole concept is scandalous. A cheap sale of Crown land and now a proposed New Town in an area of National Landscape...... IF, and I mean IF, such a level of housing is required then use the brownfield sites that are available.
If it goes ahead, make Taylor Wimpey put in all the roads, schools, shops, doctors, dentists, leisure spaces first. ONLY after the infrastructure is built think about granting planning permission for the housing.
