Radwinter
Across Uttlesford, the government wants to build 818 homes a year. At that rate, sustained for thirty years, that is 24,540 homes - +59% on existing stock in Uttlesford.
Spread across the 37 settlements in our Uttlesford list, that is an average of 22.1 homes a year per settlement - about 663 over thirty years.
When homes arrive here, they almost always arrive as a bolt-on: a field at a time, each application too small to trigger the reservoir, the substation, the surgery or the station. That is the pattern we are against — not homes themselves.
