What on earth is the point of a new Research Campus at Water End? There cannot be a worse place to build such a site. The few houses there are of historical interest to local historians, and to sacrifice them for a project of such questionable value seems totally thoughtless.
All we will get in return for this is noise, pollution, and an escalation of traffic, which has long been a problem in Renhold. We are already threatened with a new railway line close to our village. Builders are queuing up to build vast new estates, which will no doubt be needed should this vanity project get the go ahead. Your proposal for a "Science Centre" is totally inappropriate here, and seems to be being planned for no other reason than to boast of unnecessary "progress".
Please see sense, and avoid the wrath of everyone who lives here.
