there needs to be smaller homes / first homes for people rather than large family homes popping up - people trying to get on the housing ladder may need to start in a one/two bed flat in which I don’t see many built
• The infrastructure needs to be set up first... so let’s see cheaper public transport, adequate bike lanes and then see if more homes can be built in an area without it impacting on traffic
• Sustainability needs to be essential - houses with shared community allotments, solar panels, heat pumps etc... added bike lanes... I’m particularly interested in the Eco Village concept at Doggetts which sounds wonderful, I fully support this!
I would like to suggest / feedback a couple of points
