We’ve got to stop covering all the green areas - this is shockingly bad all for money.

I strongly oppose the proposed development . It is outrageously scandalous and neither environmentally or ecologically sound. The devastating impact on the countryside and local communities is incomprehensible !

Such a beautiful area and no need for more housing in Taunton, this side of town has very few amenities as it is.

This is precious, beautiful, agricultural land that we will never get back once it’s gone:

Taylor Wimpey’s plan for a new town of ~7,000 homes around Thurlbear, Corfe, Stoke St Mary & Orchard Portman is ridiculous. Thousands of houses have already been built near Taunton in the last 5-10 years. This will destroy best agricultural land, ruin beautiful countryside & displace wildlife including tawny owls, herons, woodpeckers, foxes, badgers, roe deer, buzzards & red kites. Reject this plan – protect our farmland, countryside & wildlife.

The idea of losing this beautiful landscape forever for building of such scale is pure madness. Living in the area, the wildlife that lives here is quite something to witness, what happens to them all when their natural habitat is destroyed forever? There are plenty of brownfield sites more suitable that Taylor Wimpey could utilise to achieve their targets and those of the council, without losing our precious green areas. It beggars belief that anyone would even propose such a plan.

The infrastructure for Taunton is already under great strain. Building on green spaces and agricultural land is not ecologically sustainable. More houses will cause more congestion on the roads and put a greater strain on public services.

While I agree with small housing developments this massive development is totally out of kilter with local development plan.

A development this size will completely upset the nature of this very rural area. Would very much support organic small developments across the area

This will change the living conditions for all the people who live in the area currently in villages.

Developers promise 50% green space, schools, affordable housing but then renege on these promises due to “changing economic circumstances “. This development would be an unimaginable ruination of our beautiful Somerset landscape

We are at present in a hosepipe ban. Where is the water going to come from to supply a possible 75,000 more homes? This also applies to drainage.

It is an over development eating into green farmland. This company will only be happy when the whole of England is built over with houses. STOP THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and we won't need so many houses Keep England a green and pleasant land.

A devastating plan to destroy farmland, wildlife, grazing pastures and increase demand on our health system which is already overstretched and at breaking point
