Ford (West Sussex) Eco Town development

Hi all,
Wife and I are considering a property in Ford and were about to put in an offer until we read about the proposed Eco Town development. The property we're interested in currently backs onto farmland so we're particularly concerned that this may be list, even though the current proposed plans say they're going to turn that particular bit of green into 'wetlands'.
Anyone know of this area and the plans? General opinions as to what it will do to house values and the general area?
Property is a 3 bed Semi with farmland views, quite spacious and for £220k (asking price) appears to offer a lot for the money.
Cheers,
Foolish

Be aware:Inspectors who visited the prison near Arundel, West Sussex, found alcohol abuse was rife among prisoners and poor security meant it was awash with other contraband. In one weekend alone, staff found that convicts had smuggled in 30 bottles of vodka.Last year, it was reported that !!!!!! movies and Viagra had been smuggled in so inmates could enjoy "wild parties". In a previous security lapse, 70 inmates, including three murderers, absconded from Ford in 12 months.
