Are there any links to say what houses they aren't building, and why? Is it brown as well as green field sites that have the restrictions?
Although there is still a need, especially for social housing in the area, there has been loads of new houses built in Ossy in the last two years. Hundreds of homes have been built behind Roegreave Road on the site of the old mill, for instance, but there have been no new schools built to accommodate the new families. It's pointless building new homes if there isn't also the infrastuctue and facilities the new homes will need.
