Basingstoke & Deane Planning Department are asking the Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council to endorse a plan that could result in up to 10,000 homes being built in the Loddon Valley adjacent to Old Basing, Chineham and Newnham.

We, the undersigned, are against this unsustainable proposal. We put the Council on notice that we will hold them responsible for the consequences of adopting this proposal and that the plan as it stands:
- ignores advice from The Environment Agency which specifically advises against building homes here,
- has no adequate account of the very significant dangers of flooding caused by development of this kind,
- ignores the threat to the unique natural benefits of the valley and its world famous chalk stream,
- has no credible plan to finance or manage the impact on a local infrastructure (roads, sewers, water, power) that does not cope with existing demand, let alone a significant increase in population.

    • This proposal iappears to condone wilful vandalism. There are other, sustainable and far less ecologically damaging alternatives,

    • This is an insane proposal. Population growth to 70M is neither acceptable nor enevitable.

    • From a Planning, Environmental and Biodiversity point of view this is the worst area in which to site future Town Development. The current Local Plan did not allocate any of the sites in the Loddon Valley for those reasons. The Environment Agency and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust oppose and even Planning Officers think there are better alternatives.

    • The development of the area will bring added congestion and considerably reduce the quality of life for existing local residents. There isn't the local infrastructure to accommodate more homes. I'd like to point out the Reading road, which doesn't have the capacity to carry more vehicles at peak periods, is already at bursting point.
