Thousands of properties going up without access to playgrounds, community infrastructure and even doctors, reports The Guardian.
The Guardian writes:
Thousands of homes across England are being built without urgently needed community infrastructure….
Steve Chambers… campaign group Transport for New Homes… says: ‘We are building homes on the fringes of towns in places that have very little public transport, where teenagers have nowhere to go independently…’
…
Some local authorities have felt the only way to get what they need for their communities is take matters into their own hands…
The consortium of builders – Crest Nicholson, Persimmon, Taylor Wimpey and A2Dominion – was served a stop notice for ‘failing to deliver important community facilities to support the development and its residents in a timely manner’
