For any development of more that 500 houses, NHDC has put together a strategic plan. Although the individual sites proposed have less that 500 houses, the total of all the sites is 598. All the sites together will impact the village in similar ways, so an integrated approach to highways, transport, schools, employment and housing makes sense.
Any new housing residents are likely to be commuters working in London. The trains and station from this commuter village are already over-crowed at peak times, and busy at others.There is a current proposal by Govia Thameslink to reduce the frequency the trains.
