New Houses should only be constructed within three miles of employment. Over the past thirty years Tacolneston, despite considerable housing development and still more being sought has become increasingly quiet during daylight hours. Virtually nobody works within the village any more. We are constantly exhorted to tackle the perils of climate change, the very first thing to do is to match housing with local employment. Before the advent of widespread car ownership town properties were more valuable than village houses. Climate change and the accompanying changes to our lifestyles may well leave these rural housing estates an unwanted anachronism.
