Local Plan - Site Allocation Consultation

 


The Local Plan is being updated and will be valid until 2035. The target that has been set is 27,000 new homes that is 1,800 per year. Only sites for 19,000 have been identified. The target comes from the Government via the GLA and needs to be questioned. There has to be a point when a built up area like Waltham Forest is full! The Victoria and Central lines are already at capacity, there are threats of a water shortage and everyone knows about the problems of interfacing with the NHS. Where will the additional school places be and what happens when the roads gridlock due to construction traffic, logistics delivering on-line goods, taxis transporting the disabled etc.

MAKE SURE YOU COMMENT ON THESE PROPOSALS 
The document is 208 pages long but actually each site is allocated a couple of pages outlining simply what is proposed. If you don't engage in the process you can be sure these plans will be implemented.

  1. 27,000 new homes would mean a population increase in Waltham Forest of at least 25%. This could really be our last chance if we don't want our children to live in a vertical concrete slum without any infrastructure for its residents or green spaces for kids to get out of their rabbit hutches in the sky. Compared to this battery hens have spacious accommodation. What exactly is the point of it all? Aren't there any other cities in Britain for people to live in except London?
