The rural character of Staploe parish is greatly valued by residents and visitors from St Neots. Rural lanes are a distinctive local feature and many have roadside nature reserves. Developing a large new town of Dennybrook (site 977) or other sites in Duloe such as Cobholden, Manor Farm, Duloe Field, Flints Field and Top Homes may necessitate widening and urbanisation of these roads and destroy valued hedgerows - contrary to the comments in this landscape character assessment. Also, the hamlets are much more sparsely populated than Thurleigh (the model settlement given for our landscape type).
