Dame Justice Thornton, wife of Ed Miliband, has publicly objected to a proposed six-storey block of flats in Dartmouth Park, arguing that it is too tall and dense for the area. While she acknowledges the necessity for more housing, she advocates for a more sympathetic design that aligns with local architecture. This objection coincides with Sir Keir Starmer's commitment to address nimbyism as part of an effort to promote economic development. Other local residents, including celebrities, echo concerns regarding the impact on privacy and local community resources.
