„I’ll be taking it to the heart of government to make sure people are clear that the folk around here don’t want this new town here“.
well other people do
“It would close up the green belt gap between Poynton, Bollington and Macclesfield.”
oh no anyway
The 2.7m people we brought in over the last 5 years need somewhere to live. Don’t think too hard about not wanting that either. It’s progress.
People can’t complain we aren’t building enough and support stuff like this.
A new 20k town like this is needed every few months just to house male migrants arriving by boats, and even more when a few years later they’re legally entitled to bring their family or a friend/relative’s family over.
We simply need more houses and there is no point in building them where people don’t want to live, the idea of a new town being built on brownfield land is not really happening. This town is near where people want to live and work, there is space and some infrastructure already in place.
As log as the Government gets the infrastructure upgrades right then the locals will just have to get on with it.
Not much of a protest if they couldn’t manage to take a photo with more than 12 people in it, at least 3 of whom are under 13.
Ladder pulling Nimbyrati will just get overruled by central government.
Still, nice day out for the boomers.
Extreme NIMBYism. I suspected this would happen as soon as the projected new housing numbers were announced.
I hope the homes are medium-high density instead of single family houses plonked everywhere.
the UK’s nature is not nice enough to warrant this level of NIMBYism…we have a lot of lovely countryside don’t get me wrong but not in Cheshire
„This is no exaggeration“
I unsurprisingly it’s a massive exaggeration, it’s in a huge area of countryside and all it’ll do is give more people easier access to it.
The new town would need to be bigger than Macclesfield in order to reach Pointon on the outskirts of Stockport, which it isn’t.
1,000 people wanting 20,000 or more people to suffer with stagnating or declining living standards.
Ultimately you need economies of scale, where developers can build lots of homes in a single place with affordable results. The only real solution to catch up with demand is new towns, as picking off individual sites won’t unlock the scaling effect.
The UK does need to begin making laws to enforce higher density housing by building up though. It’s ridiculous to see rows of terraced houses with back / front lawns built for a country with 30 million fewer people, which could easily be compressed into 1/10th the footprint. You’d save a lot of greenbelt land building up instead of shallow and wide.
