This particular site is completely seperate from any other housing developement. there are no local schools/shops/community centres.the access roads are very narrow and will not be able to support the huge increase in traffic. it will need a huge investment from the council to provide civic services.it will adversely affect the quality of life of all residents in westwood heath area putting unacceptable strain on local services.all housing developement should only be in areas contiguous to current housing so that available resources are utilised better rather than spend millions developing new ones for isolated developements.in the current financial climate and the coming squeeze this is unacceptable.
