Anyone else notice that Curborough is named as a shortlisted "Eco town" site

A few more details here

 

The most important bit is the site plan - our venue is just inside the left hand edge of the development zone.

 

It's not clear how much of that area is intended to be built on though. The blurb says the plan is for an "eventual" 3000 dwellings, plus the exisiting 2500 commercial park jobs and another 2500 jobs to come. Doubling the size of the commercial park and fitting in 3000 homes shouldn't come close to filling that area.

True. It depends on who owns the land I suppose and what terms are imposed.

When Aintree sold off some of their land for development it was written into the contract that motor sport would be continuing on the site next door, and this was mirrored into the house deeds - so there can be no complaints from the new residents without breaching the estate bylaws.

I've just noticed that one of the other proposed sites is at the airfield next to Shakespeare County Raceway.

 

Most of the 15 seem to be "brownfield in the middle of the countryside" locations, which also happens to describe most motorsport venues.

 

Must check what the other sites are near....
