Graven Hill residents win support as Think Tank criticises latest plans as a "departure from the initial vision for the site"

The latest developer plans for Graven Hill were criticized for deviating from the initial vision, reducing green spaces and self-build plots, which residents found unacceptable.

The Think Tank emphasized that the new proposals would lead to a development that blends in with conventional housing projects rather than maintaining the unique character intended for Graven Hill.

Residents feared that the increased housing density and prioritization of affordable housing would create a two-tier community, undermining the purpose of the self-build initiative.

Concerns about inadequate infrastructure and public services to support the growing population were raised by homeowners, alongside objections to the lack of transparency in the consultation process.
