Concerns are rising over multiple residential development proposals across the UK, highlighting community objections and infrastructure strains. In Sharnford, plans for 19 homes have faced unanimous opposition from local residents and the parish council, citing potential flooding and strain on existing services (Leicester Mercury). In Llandrindod Wells, a pre-planning proposal could see up to 122 new homes, focusing on sustainability and appealing design (County Times). Meanwhile, a developer seeks to transform the former Regal Cinema in Ringwood into 11 residential units and commercial spaces, aiming to revitalize a long-abandoned building (Bournemouth Echo). Cork City Council is reviewing an application for 176 residential units at the former Ford Distribution site, which promises to create a new urban neighborhood with various amenities (Echo Live). Lastly, plans to convert a funeral parlour in Kingston into a residential dwelling are pending council approval amid discussions about the building's commercial history (Kingston Nub News).
