The majority of people living in the south east do not want to live in flats, and do not want to see new settlements developed, according to the findings of a new report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. But they are not vehemently opposed to new development and favour other ways of tackling the issue. "Housing Futures" presents the results of a major study that canvassed the opinions of more than 1,400 people from various socio-economic bands living in Maidenhead, Medway and Aylesbury, through a series of interviews and workshops. Among key findings, the report concludes that most people "reject very high density living" (more than 80 dwellings per hectare): 62% of respondents said they do not want to live in flats or see them built in their area. More respondents preferred densification, urban extension and new town options for future housing provision than village growth and new settlements, which they strongly disliked.
