Over-development in the East of England 18 September 2008
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.
