Current services (e.g. schools and healthcare) are not sufficient to support the number of residents in Thornton & Allerton, yet this plan will see an additional 1,200 dwellings built with no consideration given to improving infrastructure without having to use yet more Green Belt land.

While many of Allerton's sites are planned on Brownfield sites, the majority of the 700 dwellings planned are flats or apartments.

Allerton is predominately a family area and there is no demand for flats within the ward. Many of these families want to move into homes with a garden and space. Again the local plan is not sympathetic to the needs of the residents, nor is the real lack of social housing being offered in this area. Much of the social housing within Allerton falls just within the limits of liveable - residents should live in a home that is fit for their needs. Not simply adequate by council standards.
