"We completely support the aims of the campaign against the New Town development. It is astonishing that a scheme of such a patently inappropriate nature is under consideration. The interests of Rutland Group must not be allowed to destroy the special rural feel of this corner of Surrey. The problems such a development would create for current and future residents of the area would be enormous - from traffic to pollution to water use.

We do not oppose development on the site per se - some mix of office and small business on the developed portion of the site would be sensible and helpful to create new jobs in the area. However it would be appalling short-sightedness by politicians and the public to destroy forever the rural quality of this area in order to promote a development that has no significant public support and contravenes all existing land use policies."
