Taunton is already rapidly being over developed. This proposed development will devastated our rural areas of natural beauty. Taunton has already been overrun with traffic, schools overcrowded. Hospital waiting times ridiculously increased. Sanitation services and water supplies higely impacted.

We need to protect our rural landscapes and environment. The area for the proposed development is special with great walks and wildlife. Save our green spaces for future generations.

Developing on good agricultural land should be secondary to brownfield sites with proper infrastructure already in place.

To protect the area and the environment in general.This development would destroy farmland and the surronding area could not possibly cope with such a massive change.

Taunton's amenities already swamped and more housing means more water being used, more cars on the road. Ridiculous idea.

7000 homes? On top of the development to the West of Taunton and at Rumwell? It’s not sustainable, we do not have the infrastructure. I am worried that the size of this development will cause serious flooding problems. But the main objection is the destruction of our countryside which makes Somerset so special and attractive to visitors. This is poorly thought out and will be nothing more than an ugly urban sprawl.

This is a special site. No more houses, it’s too much and too big a development.

We must not build right next to edge of AONB : there must be border of 2km and a green belt to Taunton. Government housing quotas are not justified and are unsupported by job growth in area and are grotesquely damaging to environment
