We are particularly disappointed to see such a lack of vision & imagination in the proposals for housing growth. The reference in para 7.10 is incorrect as options 3 & 4 adopt only part of one aspect of the Country Avenue concept. The Country Avenue aimed to provide compact integrated mixed live/work communities linked to existing infrastructure, primarily along the Ridge. This is to be applauded & should be included in the core strategy. The Country Avenue also included a new sustainable live/work community at Wilting Farm - linked to existing road infrastructure & a new station that would also serve existing isolated communities. The Breadsell Lane proposal is nothing like this & lacks fundamental elements of sustainability. Like former GLC expansion in 1970/80s, it could well lead to creation of isolated dysfunctional suburban sprawl.
