Wivenhoe in Essex could easily have 1000 people added to it and no one would notice, except for the local shopkeepers who would get welcome extra business, and of course the local railway station, perhaps a 30 minute interval service to Clacton would be justified.The most obvious places to build are railway stations serving small villages, not towns which are already getting congested, but the smaller locations. As a rule of thumb, any railway station beyond the green belt, which has empty space 15 minutes walk from a railway station or less, should have that space built on. Wivenhoe, Arlesford, Great Bentley, and Weeley on my line could between them swallow a lot of extra houses. How about Wickford to Southminster? There are a lot of people who don't like living on matchboxes on top of everyone else. Once the demand of people who like living that way is satisfied, demand will move elsewhere. The outer suburbs (Southgate etc.) just need looking after. Years of rate-capping and other ways of controlling municiple spending (such as making the south pay for the north) has made them tatty. |
