I believe that any decision to develop BX116 (land adjoining Spindlewood Drive/Maple Walk) should, at the very least, be postponed for 5 years whilst alternatives are investigated further. BX116 is the least appropriate of all the sites. Brownfield options and infill developments where former commercial/residential properties are converted to multi-occupancy should be considered first.
It is surely essential that if the necessary infrastructure is not in place already it is capable to being developed in tandem. This is not possible at BX116.
