| I think Brian Green has given us an insight into what he would do if he was a councillor rather than what actual councillors really do. The dilemma with this building, which is clearly ridiculously high, is that it does for once contain a reasonable amount of social housing as opposed to faux 'affordable' units which are anything but. You can see why councillors and council officers might be convinced why the harms to places like Strand on the Green and Kew might be acceptable. One problem though is it looks like the social rent flats are being positioned around the same level as the flyover. The air quality report is quite sanguine about the health impacts but I'd like to see a more independent study done just to confirm that it is safe for people to live there. After a long discussion on the health impact of diverted traffic from LTNs on this forum previously, there was no real insight offered by anyone about the real world impact of living with consistently high exceedances. It would be good to have some assurance that the borough isn't going to put people somewhere that will fatally undermine their health. |
