Kent and Science Parks

BBC Kent, report on their website, growing dissent from residents of Bapchild, near Sittingbourne to proposals to add up to 6000 new homes, by the Kent science park.

What is it with Kent, that whenever a science park is mentioned for whatever reason, this also requires the building of thousands of homes.

A theory I have developed, given the fact that we have two competing science park proposals, Bapchild and Wye, which have a combined requirement of almost 10,000 new houses, is that somewhere in Kent either a mad scientist, or developer has discovered the secret of life and is cloning hundreds of scientists and has run out of space in the laboratory to house them.

Alternatively and possibly more likely my other theory is that a greedy developer or scientist, has invented a plausible if barely believable reason for converting cheap agricultural land into prime residential land which a gullible or malleable Tory local authority will agree to.
