This petition is now closed, as its deadline has passed.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to support Hampshire County Council, Winchester District Council, Micheldever Parish Council and the residents of the local parishes in declining permission for the proposed development of "Micheldever Station Market Town". More details
Submitted by Douglas Bell – Deadline to sign up by: 03 February 2008 – Signatures: 2,591
The proposed development by Zurich/Eagle Star, for 12,500 houses on the green field site of Micheldever Station, as an "eco-town", is a cynical re working of plans that all levels of local council have seen to be detrimental to the local area, and have consistently shown unanimous opposition.
The veneer of eco suitability given to the plans can in no way compensate for the damage that would be caused to the local environment, or fully comply with the requirements laid out in the governments "Eco-Town Prospectus" (July 2007)
Accepting these plans would not only destroy the local countryside and biodiversity but would also have a negative impact on the development in the surrounding areas of Andover, Basingstoke, Winchester and South Hampshire.
