Over development

I had a great Easter break: slept a lot, did a lot of nothing and feel much better for it...today, all the good work is undone.

A public meeting attended by perhaps 40 people, on the subject of the development of City Park. I am not a member of the planning committee so can speak my mind freely.
It is proposed to build some 216 flats/houses on the site: taking into account the almost 700 flats at the Strada, that means almost 1000 new homes...and all of them spilling into Pilton Drive. This feels like over-development to me and I cannot imagine many residents will be overwhelmed with delight.

I intend to oppose the application.
