It’s not nearly constructing homes – communities want infrastructure to develop | Housing

There’s a very actual hazard that, in its bid to reform the planning system and construct 1.5m properties throughout England at tempo, the federal government will neglect the essential necessities of livable communities (‘No retailers, no faculties’: properties in England constructed with out primary facilities, 27 July).

As your article makes clear, already “hundreds of properties throughout England are being constructed with out urgently wanted neighborhood infrastructure”. The planning system can’t permit such elementary elements of high quality, sustainable placemaking to be uncared for. It will do effectively to recognise the answer supplied by a landscape-led strategy to improvement.
