Explore all avenues call
In response to your article in the Worksop Guardian 27th January, I find the site allocation for potential new housing, meeting the demands of developers for greater land banks of prime open space land. Thereby removing significant areas of natural beauty. Whether there is a need for 6,000 new houses is always debatable and based on projections plucked from thin air.
The council appears to be ignoring those areas within the borders of Worksop that are currently derelict or left empty for some as yet unknown usage.
The point in your article noting that a proposal for many three-storey houses is ridiculous if any are to built near existing housing as the protest for loss of light and privacy will increase over and above what I feel they will be anyway.
I am a professed NIMBY but object to green land grab before exploring all other options wherever this may happen.
