I MUST support R Wilson (Letters, May 29) in objecting to this development, which is trying to turn a small country town into an embryo Milton Keynes.
Politicians in this country, having opened the doors to unrestricted immigration, are now ruining the countryside with concrete and bricks using arbitrary demands for building bearing little relationship to local needs.
I asked a local councillor who was going to live in these mass developments and he replied "90 per cent asylum seekers" as the country has enough for the indigenous population. A bitter joke perhaps, but a serious point just the same.
Many rural villages and towns are just not suitable unless there is massive expenditure on infrastructure that destroys attractive areas of the countryside, some of which are unique.
For example, I understand that a developer wants to build a hotel on the hills!
