Over-development in the East of England

The proposed regional masterplan is working to a economic model of growth with little regard for the environmental pressures that the region already faces

Pressure will come from:

• Increased aiport capacity
  Stansted, Luton, Norwich and Southend have all been earmarked for expansion.

• Growth in housing and population
  much of this likely to be in the London to Peterborough corridor.

• Expansion in the road network
  to accommodate this increased economic activity.
