I am writing to you to explain my objections to your proposal for a Science Park in Renhold and these are my reasons:
• Renhold has a 'dark skies' policy'. Surely a huge development such as that proposed at Saiph End would jeopardise this.
• We already have 3 substantial new developments in Renhold along Norse Road and we now have 1434 houses in the parish. This proposal would most certainly remove any rural identity that we have left.
• The area around Water End and St Neots Road currently consists of low density housing. How does the proposed new settlement fit in with the rural character of this village?
• It would appear that we will need extensive road development with several modifications to the existing roundabouts needed to access the proposed new development. Surely this is neither cost effective nor beneficial to a rural environment.
