Dear editor - It is sad that Pembrokeshire Housing intends to squeeze in more houses on the verges surrounding Skrinkle estate at Manorbier.
The government plans to build three million new homes by 2020, but Direct Gov.uk states that good design is crucial in creating places where people are proud to live. People need jobs, transport, health care, schools, shops and green spaces'.
Already there are about 100 houses on the estate. While there is a regular bus service, all the other amenities are some distance away. Even a visit to the local shop is a ten minute walk.
New homes should be built in accordance with the criteria on sites where work and all amenities are at hand.
In a world where obesity and laziness are serious issues, how senseless is it to build over the few places where children do still play outside?
Daniel Jones Skrinkle Estate, Manorbier.
