Revised Development Strategy

Respondent: Mr David Higgin
The current road infrastructure and supporting facilities struggle to cope with the current population. The additional housing that is planned for this area will undoubtedly put a greater strain on schooling, health care and pollution within the area. Volumes of traffic will significantly increase causing a decrease in the quality of the environment for those that live here already. This amount of housing has been proven already to be unnecessary. If houses are required and further realistic studies prove this to be the case, brownfield sites could be regenerated providing housing instead of further unnecessary retail developments.
