That will teach the NIMBYS to complain about the noise of the TG cars to the local council. Now they're going to have to live next door to a Swindon council estate instead

Yep there's nothing to stop someone else applying for planning permission on a piece of land.
I've always suggested the like of Castle Coombe should apply for similar, though I'd include a local incinerator plant, turkey farm, pig farm, scrapyard, knackers yard & rendering plant, pet food factory plus of course the odd few thousand houses & an industrial estate to keep it self sufficient.
That'll teach the effing nimby's to moan about a bit of noise

A spokeswoman for Dunsfold Park Ltd said said:
People will be actively discouraged from buying a house if they're going to travel off-site.
So what's this then? Once you move in your not allowed to leave Dunsfold Park? No doubt all the new houses will have no garages, very limited parking....

"more cars, more trafic, more pollution"
Hey? How'd he work that one out, there'll be no more cars on Britain's road, some of them will just move, so no more pollution, people will now live closer to work, so the roads leading into the place will surely be less congested before 9 and after 5?

Well you obviously don't work in central government, that's all far too logical.Hey?

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good argument.Not sure if it has been posted any where else yet. Looks like the Top Gear Site may be safe.

The article mentions that BBC Top Gear are based there, but that the houses will replace the airfield so surely they'll have to move if the project is approved?
Ture, but the 2nd article talks about the fact that councillors having been advised to refuse planning permission for a development of 2,600 houses. So it looks like top gear can stay put.BJG1 said:

Not sure if you've been to the Top Gear site, but the roads around it are practically country lanes, i'd love to see how they'd accomodate 2000 more cars there.Hey?

t journalism. Who created the report? It doesn't even say. For all we know it could be a report written by local residents.I have a brilliant idea, let them have both!!
Build a load of looky samey houses out of inferior materials using wonky tape measures. Clump them together in 'neighbourhoods' with twee, cheesy names like 'Otters Dump', 'Foxes Clopper' and 'Badgers Cough'. Tart every third house up with a manky fibreglass portico and fourth bedroom over the boiler cupboard, label it 'Executive' and sell at a 25% premium.
Erect an overbearing shopping centre full of the usual cloned shops in the middle. Install a chav pheremone* emitting system in the centre of the mall to draw in spotty, undernourished scum with their benefits. Install dozens and dozens of roundabouts with rampant shrubbery at 200 yard interviews and then let TG use the entire place as a test track upon which they can screech around being anti-social in their noisy cars.
Oh, hang on. That's Milton Keynes.
