1 The wrong location
This is a resurrected planning application South Cambridgeshire District Council has already REJECTED and has chosen Northstowe as a new town - this should be our eco town.

2 Enough is enough
We already have one of the biggest house building programmes in the country. South Cambridgeshire is committed to building 23,000 homes.  We don’t need any more.

3 We don’t have the infrastructure
Our roads are under huge strain now. The Liverpool Street/Cambridge line lacks capacity and station car parks are full. The Citi7 bus is regularly held up due to the volume of traffic.

4 Destroying greenfield land
You don’t improve the environment by building on miles of high quality grade II farmland.

5 Undermining local democracy
The “eco-town” is being imposed by ministers and bureaucrats in Whitehall, subverting the normal planning process. We believe that local people should decide through our elected representatives. It’s a question of democracy and accountability.

6 An ECO-CON, not an eco-town
The carbon neutral house hasn’t been designed yet. Thousands more cars on our roads aren’t carbon neutral either. The plan just won’t work.
