Dispute that KDBH is 'well placed to accommodate growth'.
Parking is insufficient with little scope for expansion.
Key roads are heavily congested during commuter times - the relief road would have helped.
The area is not 'well served' by health facilities.
Agree that affordable housing should primarily be for local young people and older residents favouring independence.
When considering 'a balance between character and efficiency' it must be borne in mind that 'character', contributing to the long-term quality of life for residents, should usually have priority over 'efficiency', that may link to profit.
