This is what “public consultations” mean in practice. People who own land have concentrated organised representation and the public benefits are diffuse and lack representation. This is why national level control is important.

To be fair to the council the vast majority of this project has been approved.
The dropped sections go through a housing estate and that’s it. Parts A&B on this map are the bits that were dropped which is about 500m of road mostly through a quiet housing estate.
Not perfect by any means but it’s still good that the vast majority of the project is going ahead. It’s certainly not an outright NIMBY victory anyway.
