Fresh blow for M11 corridor plans

摘要

The government's growth area strategy has suffered a fresh blow after the publication of a planning study criticising the London-to-Peterborough development corridor, writes David Blackmail. The report, which was written by a team of three in the Planning Inspectorate, analyses the East of England regional spatial strategy. It recommends that development should be distributed around the region in line with housing need. The present strategy is to concentrate new housing in growth areas at the southern end of the M11 corridor, such as Harlow, Essex.
