Fully support health and supporting communities. Unlike this plan. From a Shirley perspective the quote about 'Green / open space' in paragraph 378 rings particularly hollow, as the plans guarantee that the opposite will be true for a great number of households. This is already a very urban environment - the plans only increase the urbanisation, without any increase in public open space. Where buildings are currently set in space they are to be demolished and replaced with high-density developments.
I fully support health and supporting communities. Unlike this plan. From a Shirley perspective the quote "Green / open space: It is recognised that living close to areas of green space - parks, woodland and other open spaces - can improve health, regardless of social class. Research has identified the direct benefits of green space to both physical and mental health and wellbeing." rings particularly hollow, as the plans guarantee that the opposite will be true for a great number of households.
