:00:24. > :00:25.argue that the scale of the development would overwhelm what

:00:49. > :00:51.stretch and capacity. Roads are in gridlock in the mornings. Our

:00:52. > :00:55.schools are all at capacity. We simply cannot take that many more

:00:56. > :00:59.people. Persimmon Homes had no one available for interview ` but issued

:01:00. > :01:01.a statement saying the plot of land adjacent to Goring Station is owned

:01:02. > :01:05.by Persimmon Homes, and a topographical survey was recently

:01:45. > :01:47.recover from the recent floods, there are concerns about the level

:01:48. > :01:52.of government grants on offer to help them rebuild. The condition of

:01:53. > :01:57.this field on a 1700 acre farm in Oxfordshire is a reflection of what

:01:58. > :02:00.many are having to cope with. And though the ?5,000 available for each
