We also recently explored the houses in Tewin, Hertfordshire designed by Mary Crowley, three modernist homes from 1936, that looked forward to the Scandinavian influenced designs of the post war period www.modernism-in-metroland.co.uk/blog/anatomy...

On the Tewin development, @mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social says he doesn't want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting the development. "We shouldn't waste taxpayers money on a lost cause."
Meanwhile in Kanata Lakes, he's spending millions to block 1,480 homes from being constructed there.

A trip into deepest, darkest Hertfordshire for the Dartford Warbler at Tewin was successful, despite the dull, drizzly weather. Predictability consorting with Stonechats. Noisy Ring-necked Parakeets were ever present. Also Treecreeper, Nuthatch and drumming Great Spotted Woodpecker

Tewin is not "responsible and appropriate", nor is it is "close to public transit", or in an area where "growth is sustainable and responsible". There are "a lot of logistic and Infrastructure barriers"
Extending just our water infrastructure to Tewin is expected to cost $590 million.

A good reason as any to halt Tewin, as if a $650 million infrastructure price tag wasn’t enough; #OttCity
We've got to stop expanding into the wildland-urban interface (WUI).
More than 16 million homes across the west have been built in this area.

Tewin at full scale would be about 100,000 people -- that's like a whole new Barrhaven East.
Ottawa taxpayers simply can't afford that type of growth.

It is frustrating to see people use the housing crisis to justify any sort of housing. Tewin is NOT the way we should be building housing. It will only deepen city debt and fuel our decades-long sprawl addiction. Expensive roads and sewers are not something we can afford.

Now take a look at this side by side of the infrastructure surrounding the Kanata Lakes Golf Course Redevelopment and compare that to Tewin.
"We're not saying were going to build housing in areas where it's not suitable, or where the infrastructure doesn't exist".

What’s the deal with rural residents being opposed to HSR cutting through their property but not road expansion to support Tewin nor the expropriation and impacts to agricultural land that a ring road would bring?

Just the water infrastructure for Tewin is going to cost more than $500m, and all we get in return is more sprawl while Taggart rakes in the profits.

We heard from many groups today about the Tewin development. This is unfortunately going to be a development that further entrenches us into unsustainable sprawl.
Property taxes have not and will not be able to provide long-term support for these types of developments. We have decades of evidence.
