Assuming that it is necessary to provide the number of dwellings stated in the plan, we srongly support the policy of distributing them throughout the area. Few existing residents welcome growth of this sort and there is normally some penalty in terms of living standards. However, failure to provide for the increased demand will lead to acute problems for those who cannot find acceptable accomodation and we all therefore have to accept some changes to our lifestyle to accomodate the necessary expansion. However it is important that the pain is shared fairly amongst existing inhabitants and not concentrated on an unfortunate few. It would appear that the Plan recognises this and for that reason has our full support.
