Those of us who live near Cirencester are not enamoured of either Chesterton or Kemble proposal. The transport infrastructure on that side of town has already reached capacity in the rush hour and there is no capacity in drainage, water, gas of electricity supply.
So any major housing development in that area is fraught with difficulties both HMG and the district council would like to ignore.
There is a strong case for more industrial development at Kemble but the whole planning system seems to be focussed on building high density housing which will turn a small market town on the edge of the Cotswold AONB into a sort of mini Swindon.
Basically the local plans in Cotswold District are a mess.
