The council does not appear to support the housing of local people. There is no indication for whom this housing is being built. If more and more green fields are to disappear then plans should clearly state for whom these developments are being made. Affordable housing should in the first instant be for local people who have lived and worked in the area. According to media reports, it seems developers at times get away with not providing what is specified. Councils need to be making sure that this does not happen. Social housing should provide people with quality housing in safe environments. Siting housing near Gypsy and Traveller Sites does not do this, in this instant proposed housing in Watermill Lane backing onto a proposed traveller site fails to acknowledge the safety of the local community including Sidley.
