'A good mix of housing types and sizes' is very welcome and long overdue. There is a severe lack of family homes in the Thames Gateway South Essex area, where 80% of all new dwellings are flats. We would like the present lack of 3 and 4 bedroom properties to be highlighted, and the present imbalance noted as a guide to developers.
The Committee of the Leigh society welcome this draft Document.
It is clearly laid out, well designed and easy to read.
However, we feel it would be further improved if the sections in the Contents were labelled with page numbers for reference.
All in all this is a very welcome document and we commend the officers for their efforts.
