This is Sean Mulryan's Kildare Estate . It sits in tranquillity surrounded by verdant acres. Mulryan owns Ballymore.
Mulryan and his family have made their billions by building horrific high-rise developments in already densely populated urban areas. It is doubtful he would ever want his family living on one of his 'horror-scapes'
RBKC needs to chuck out this scheme. Ballymore drives a coach and horses through the Council's pretence at 'Green Ambitions.'
But don't listen to the Dame. Watch this video which should terrify all residents HORROR FILM
Building cheap, cramped housing on an isolated site, is not the answer to RBKC's grotesque lack of affordable housing. In order to thrive, communities need multiple physical connections to the wider area. Residents need easy access to public transport; shops; medical care; schools; places of worship; cultural facilities and parks etc.
ReplyDeleteDespite a location in Central London, the development site is cut off by canals & railway lines etc. We cannot build a ghetto for poor people. These plans are unsuitable for a stable, healthy, long term community, so must be rejected.
Easy for the well housed to say . There really are no more significant sites in the borough left on which to build to meet the borough's housing needs . Nor is it correct that the local area lacks schools , churches , mosques or doctors. We must not let a theoretical desire for perfection stop the provision of an acceptable & much needed development. ( There are actually currently too many school places available in the North of the borough !) Do not listen to the whining voices of the perfections - Try asking those in housing need in the borough & their relatives " Would you prefer a new ( possibly high rise ) home on the gasworks site or would you prefer to be sent to Peterborough , Southend or Gloucester ?"
ReplyDelete@12:58 Out of the homes that Ballymore is proposing to build just 12 % will be for social rent. So that will be somewhere around 290 homes. The RBKC housing waiting list is 3,181 and growing.
