• We object to the proposal for Denybrook. We like the ruralness of Colmworth and the surrounding areas and we don’t want being spoilt by the development of 10,500 houses.
• The amount of agricultural land that will be lost due to this development is sacrilege. We can’t believe that people’s livelihoods won’t be affected by this and puts even more pressure on not buying locally.
• The infrastructure required for a development such as this will cause complete upheaval to the surrounding areas; including noise, pollution, road closures and the loss of yet more land.
• We don’t feel that St Neots or Bedford are able to cope with the significantly increased volume of traffic. This will also put enormous strain on the Black Cat roundabout, which is already a notoriously bad bottleneck.
• This will also see the loss of vast areas of natural habitat for our wildlife. As this development will be ripping right through the rural land, this will completely devastate woodland, trees and bushes.
