The human version (we wrote this, not the council)
This allocation supports an assumed 630 homes on around twelve hectares west of Furze Lane and north of Verney Road, Winslow. Higher density is expected because of the nearby train station, with direct walking and cycling links to the town centre, station and schools. A buffer is required between homes and the railway line, and veteran ash trees on the site must be safeguarded. Financial contributions are needed towards Verney Road improvements and other strategic infrastructure for Winslow.
