One aspect which seems to be overlooked is providing new housing developments that are pleasant to live in. Flat fields crammed with high-density housing, that forces people to live cheek by jowl, are not the answer. A more enlightened approach would be to allow reduced densities in areas, like Knowle, which have a pleasant and more spacious atmosphere, so that new development can be in keeping with the character of existing housing. The southern part of Site 9 (Lansdowne Farm) for example is not flat, and could provide really pleasant developments, surrounding the proposed new public park.
