- Just wondering what the wider implications of Cranbrook are - no-one can seem to give a definitive answer. The plans I've seen seem to suggest it won't impinge too much on Whimple, but given the vagueness of the number of houses which are going to be built, and the fact the council seems to have multiple sets of plans, I am frankly quite bewildered. It seems pretty ridiculous that the council are not providing a clear, definitive answer. Can anyone shed any light on this, because it's as clear as soup. Is Whimple going to lose it's train station, or any other amenities because of Cranbrook? Will Whimple get swallowed by Cranbrook? Isn't the creation of a town of 6000-12000 people going to have a massive impact on the local environment, infrastructure and house prices?
