Hunston has 380 council tax-paying dwellings thus another 200 houses = 53% increase which is far too much. And, the 200 is stated as a minimum..........that is open-ended!! A public meeting at Hunston, led by the Parish Council, found that a generous 100 houses should be the maximum.

1 ...."high quality development to be masterplanned as a sustainable developement"...this is meaningless waffle, the development will almost certainly end up as usual developers Noddy Houses with no real sustainability about them, poor air-tightness, orientated willy-nilly, tiny gardens etc etc
5 No part of the development should visibly impact upon, or worse still abut, the Conservation Area which sits within an appealing rural setting the loss of which would be devastating to the one visual asset Hunston has.
7 New housing should not only have an adverse impact upon nature conservation etc it should enhance it.
