why is it difficult to make housing developments truely sustainable
Environmental Impact: Large-scale developments can significantly impact the local environment. In Tudeley, concerns include potential harm to local wildlife, loss of green space, and increased pollution. Balancing development with environmental preservation requires extensive planning and often compromises.
Infrastructure Strain: Sustainable developments need robust infrastructure for transportation, water, energy, and waste management. In Tudeley, there are concerns about whether existing infrastructure can support the new development without causing traffic congestion, water shortages, or increased carbon emissions.
Economic Feasibility: Achieving sustainability often involves higher upfront costs for green building materials, renewable energy systems, and advanced waste management solutions. Developers may find it challenging to balance these costs with affordability for potential homeowners, impacting the economic viability of the project.
