SW Planning has proposed the transformation of a brownfield site at Dorrington Gardens into 34 new homes, responding to increasing housing demands in the borough.
While the scheme aims to develop needed housing, resident concerns regarding infrastructure strain and the value of open space challenge the proposal's acceptance.
A majority of residents (67%) opposed the development, prioritizing open space and expressing fears over overpopulation and traffic issues that new housing could exacerbate.
Despite the council's argument that current car park usage is low, locals favor maintaining open spaces over accommodating additional housing demands per the latest consultancy.
