SIR – I welcomed the feature on Wednesday, October 9, by Jack Blanchard who confirmed that I supported more housing around Worcester.

I would not wish to see an immediate full scale development of 13,000 houses.

It is important to plan now for future housing needs and to have a very structured and thought out policy for the release of the land in phases over the next 25 years.

ANDREW GRANT,

Principal of Andrew Grant Estate Agents.
