Is it just me or is Garlinge the wrong place for a load of new houses?

I’ve been looking into the efforts to put a whole load of new houses in Garlinge. Is it only me who thinks this is not a good fit for the area? It’s not like they include much by the way of social housing; this looks a bit like a fat money grab.

I’ve seen a lot of complaints and objections, which only go to strengthen my doubts that this build is right for the area. One wonders how TDC approved this in the first place.

Reply or comment, I’d like to know what other people think about this.
