Planning changes to encourage new builds

You are blinkered yes we need house we need them in the right places and we need the infrastructure to support them. Just allowing planning permission willy nilly is not the ans.
The infrastructure does not always follow or if it does it's years to late.
Sorry, disagree. And you're still not proposing a solution.0 -
The roads are full not all over I accept can't get a seat on train long waits for doctors appointments.
one would have thought, that waiting time for an appointment to see a doctor or the difficulty of getting a seat on a train, is related to the size of the population rather than to the number or size of houses.0 -

The size of population in doctors area if you can't see that more property in an area increases the population in that area you really are blinkered.0 -

providing the opportunity of people to move from shared flats to nice semis (with gardens) doesn't increase the demand on the medical services.
more and larger houses allows people to have better housing standards and doesn't require move medical support overall.
clearly the distribution of the population will affect where the medical facilities are required but not the total requirement.
a significant shift of population will increase demand is one place and reduce in others : no overall change.0 -

I think you might be starting to get yes the distribution of the population will alter and that is what causes the problem. I can only speak for the area I live in and as the number of properties increase so does the strain on the infrastructure. There is a development of 4000 house just about to start near me. It's in the right place and supposedly a new school is part of the development but the access to area is already badly congested and there is no plan to improve it.0
