Sir, Under your headline Fears over 75,000 homes (June 23) there are a number of attempts to place this level of growth in context and make the implications more readily understood.
Then under Muddy Waters the leader raises questions about the involvement of planning at local and regional levels in this important issue. Clearly housing supply cannot be divorced from the availability of jobs, and infrastructure including transport and (topically) water.
These matters are regularly 'debated' in letters to the editor, but for those who would be interested in learning more about the context of these decisions and in discussing them with others, the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education is running a course on the Theory and Practice of Town and Country Planning starting in October (details on www.conted.ox.ac.uk or from tel. 01865 280893).
