Maybe there’s a fundamental principle of what’s proportionate and appropriate. Of course there needs to be new house building, but clearly the dwellings that are going up are only suitable for a certain demographic.These are not, on the whole, family homes.These are not, on the whole, affordable to the people who most need housing.These are not, on the whole, sympathetic to the places in which they are being built or proposed.These are not, on the whole, solving the ‘housing crisis’.These are not, on the whole, being supported with the infrastructure required to help a community flourish and thrive.What they are doing, evidently, is allowing developers to cash in on space in Ealing that once built on is no longer available for more appropriate development.
