My livelihood depends on the stud farms and equestrian industry around here. What happens to us?

Newmarket's position as the global headquarters of horseracing is protected — and that protection reaches beyond the town. The Heath, the training grounds and the stud land around Newmarket sit outside the developed area, and the masterplan treats the wider equestrian landscape of your villages as one of the area's defining assets, not an obstacle to build over.

A city of a million people is also a large new market for your industry: veterinary practices, feed merchants, farriers, riding schools and racing tourism all gain customers rather than losing ground.
