As a resident in an area where excessive construction is becoming a problem, I can underline the issues that residents nearby experience:
Noise: People nearby are experiencing a lot of noise that can start as early as 6am in the morning till late in the afternoon.
Pollution: Construction sites generate air pollution which can trigger allergies and respiratory problems. Dust can easily enter people’s houses.
Rubbish: Another problem is the rubbish, which increases with the number of residents.
Parking: When increasing the number of properties, more parking will be needed, and fewer green spaces will remain
