Residents on Hillcrest Road have been raising concerns about the Pinebanks proposals for years - Credit: Archant A community has had its say on a proposed development for hundreds of new homes which is estimated to take eight years to complete if approved. A series of consultation webinars are set to take place next week regarding the proposals for up to 725 homes at Pinebanks, Griffin Lane and the former Langley Preparatory School site in Thorpe St Andrew. Ocubis Ltd, which acts as development manager for the site owner, has stressed the Thorpe Pits do not form part of the development after county councillor Ian Mackie had heard residents were concerned over the area of scientific and ecological importance.
