Thank you Lynne, however, I see that the 10 at Secmaton Farm and the 3 next door have been included to bump the numbers up regarding the Link Road.  This is blatent misleading since I have checked their planning applications and neither have or will have access to the link road, but will be accessing onto Secmaton Lane.  If they have been included by mistake this is incompetence or if deliberately ...

What new bridge and where ? New section of link road - where ? Certainly a lack of detail and lots of fluff.
