Ridgeons, Cromwell Road: Supplementary Planning Document

Figure 108 subfigure 6: Instead of "a variety of building heights" I would prefer to see "buildings of similar height to those already existing in Cromwell Rd and nearby streets between Mill Road and Coldham's Lane". The development near the station (CB1) has shown what dreadful results come from allowing developers to squeeze in more properties by building upwards. Over time such estates will become dilapidated squalid ghettos.
