To my horror the other day whilst going out towards the track/airfield for a mountain bike ride I found that they are building a new estate almost next to it. Knowing what problems Goodwood have had in the past with some vocal locals I hope this isn't going to cause more aggro.

Gets my goat when people move in next to something then try to affect it's operation.

Still the Revival had something like a 90% approval rating with locals when it was first proposed. I suppose I shouldn't worry too much, should I.....

Don't get me going on what they want to do around the Centurion Way. 1300 houses I think it is.
Anyway, the local freebie rag is stating 300 homes on the bit next to Goodwood. So that's going to be a nice spacious estate. A local councillor has requested buyers are made aware of the noise from the circuit. Nice idea but that only works for the first buyer of a particular house.

They are not going up especially quickly. Lots of ground work going on but yet to see any bricks when I went past a few days ago.

It's quite phenomenal and depressing how many houses are sprouting up around here at the moment. It's not as if they are all good looking. The old RMP barracks development is depressing. Not quite brutalist, but utterly soulless. Maybe it's my age....
