Contacting your District Councillor

What you can say:

“I’m concerned about the scale and clustering of the 15,000 homes proposed within five miles of Houghton & Wyton. Before the Local Plan is fixed, I would like to see the missing evidence completed, including cumulative impact, infrastructure requirements and alternatives.

Please support a short pause at Regulation 18 so the plan is deliverable and stands up at Examination.”

Key points you may also want to include:

I am not anti‑housing
The scale of the collective developments and the impact on existing and new residents' quality of life needs proper supporting evidence
Why are sites with better, existing road infrastructure not being considered - alongside A1M / new A14?
Other plans have failed where evidence was incomplete - Uttlesford, North Essex Authorities, Greater Norwich, Castle Point
As a resident, I only understood the scale once a map of all the developments was published by the Parish Council
A short pause now reduces long‑term risk
