It says homes, not population, I think.
No idea of the average home size, but that has to be at least thirty thousand people? And I suppose thirty thousand cars too.
But indeed, that's titchy. The new town they're building almost literally on my doorstep is planned to have 30000 homes in it (although only 1500 in phase one.)
(Incidentally, hard to know what Northstowe will do to property prices. Will folk think "I could have a nice little new build, why would I want an 1840s house with attendant maintenance issues" and our price drops, or will they think "A pokey little new build or go another mile and there a lovely 1840s house" and the price will rise. Who knows?)
