Question - What else will the council take into account in trying to make a decision ?
Answer - As well as transport links and density of housing, the council will take into account how communities link together.
What it won't want to do is have seperate communities. There will be a need to integrate the old and the new.
It will take into account areas where bats fly, they are a protected species and their habitats will need to be protected.
It will want to have a say on design, all there areas we have been told to look at are sensitive areas.

FAQ - Issues
Question If we have to build all these houses will there be any new money for roads ?
Answer - No, the point of the urban extension is that it is cheap, it will cost the government nothing. Any roads or other infrastructure will have to be funded from within the development or from the council tax.
Question How are they going to improve Pennyquick, if houses are built there ?
Answer - We don't know, we haven't welcomed this urban extension, the government wants it in place.

FAQ - Could the Council Oppose the plans
Question Could the council oppose the plans
Answer - We could oppose them, but the only place we can do this is the courts. This runs the risk of a large bill as there is no guarantee of success.
If a developer puts in a plan in an area that the council disagrees
with, the person that has the final say is the government.
In planning there is a right of appeal for the developer if turned down to a government inspector. This is the same team that recommended that we build the houses in the first place.
If the council plans where the houses go, we can retain a little bit of control.
Question is this fair ?
Answer no it isn't but that is what happens
