A preview of an exciting development on the Stockton North Shore, by the Infinity Bridge.  The first 50 homes have been planned and will go to planning committee soon.  A lot of new and interesting concepts, and I particularly liked the roof terraces.  Some worries about the management of the open spaces in particular, but points made by coucnillors were listened to.  I was disappointed that it was not a carbon neutral development given that it is starting on a piece of cleared land, and that more use is not being made of ground source heat pumps, harnessing the river, and completely recycling all water.  In several years time I am sure that such will have to be done, but as everything meets current expectations it will probably be allowed.  I am impatient - I want everything physically possible done now!
