Over development in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Insufficient infrastructure, including road networks, to support such a huge development.

Will completely ruin the rural nature of the area not to mention the wildlife impact, impact to food production and strain on the local infrastructure

Taunton's infrastructure can't handle the current amount of people, how will 7000 households help?

The land is very pretty and I think it will be harmful for the ecosystems

I live nearby and I ride my horse and walk my dogs in this beautiful countryside. The infrastructure won’t cope and additional traffic will be passing my home - the roads are busy enough as it is and local GP surgeries etc won’t cope

Lived here all my life, would be detrimental to the environment, community and agricultural sector. It really just isnt needed and it would destroy so much good.

We have had enough of developments in Taunton. Eating away at areas for wildlife. No increased infrastructure in the area. Let's save this wonderful area, not destroy it forever.

Not enough schools to educate the amount of kids that’ll move in, no jobs for the extra people coming in, not enough Doctors/dentist surgeries, pressure on Musgrove for increasing patients, where is all the extra water, gas and Electric going to come from, extra volume of traffic and completely ruining an area of outstanding natural beauty for pocket lining and greed.

Brownfield sites and empty properties must be considered first. This would be on prime agricultural land which is needed for food production. The proposed new town would affect The Blackdown Hills National Landscape, one of the areas that makes Somerset so unique. It must be protected at all costs.

This is an area of outstanding beauty, full of flora and fauna that have been there since the very beginning. Destroying the area with housing and roads will poison the ground, destroy habitats and unbalance nature for ever. Noise and light pollution, traffic congestion and intense pressure on local amenities go hand in hand. I was born down the road and my love for the area runs in my blood.

All these houses with no work for people now. The council is broke and needs more council tax. Grabbing the money first,think about infrastructure when get chaos.
