New blog post: We take a look at a development that claims to be vision-led, but the vision relies on people not leaving their homes and getting deliveries by drone.

Will the Selwood car-visioned garden community be given consent?

A test case as to whether we are serious about saying 'no' to locations that are not sustainable when it comes to transport.

Transport for New Homes
@tfnhomes I heard a rumour that the Hounsome Fields development in #Basingstoke was approved by Highways on the basis that the pre-existing congestion on the A30 was so much that people living on the new development would be prevented from joining it during rush hour, so the development would make no difference to traffic volumes. Obviously they didn't bother even starting to build the shared use path to link the development with the rest of Basingstoke until years after people moved in.
