New Homes: Our Concerns

We have had several meetings to discuss our concerns about the new homes project. I have compiled a list of them. This blog post is to allow everyone to comment, so I can make the list as inclusive as possible

• Right to say no

  • The residents want the right, if we fell our wishes have not been accommodated, to say no to the planned new homes.

• Minimize overlooking

  • New home have the potential to overshadow Wilmot Close and Leontine close

  • Wilmot Close already has limited light and new homes may restrict this further

  • Both blocks may lose privacy if the new home overlook their windows.

• Preserved green space

• Minimal disruption during construction

  • Maintain predestrian access between different parts of the estate

  • Maintain fire brigade access to every part of the estate during construction

• Parity between new and old home

  • Equal repairs services for new and old homes

  • Edwin House doors and other upgrades

• No loss of amenity

  • Community centre or temporary space available throughout

  • Football pitch

  • Play area

  • Parking

• Proper involvement of residents throughout

  • Meeting schedule inclusive as possible

  • Clear communication between meetings

  • Coordination with the Lindley estate project group

• ASB and crime with increased population

• Integration of new residents with existing community

• Shared ownership to be avoided
