There’s a few issues in this article but two big ones. increased supply is actually good no matter what the size, too many 4 beds? Drives down the price of 4 beds, 3 beds get cheaper to compensate etc. It’s actually much better than the alternative which is often to build hovels, or to split a four bed into 4 extortionately priced flats. Secondly the whole point of nimby is “my backyard”, how important is that black poplar really? It’s not. If it were 5 miles down the road the residents wouldn’t care. They don’t vote green, they all support more house building elsewhere at almost any cost. Developers are often terrible, but it’s a government policy created issue that housing is terrible in the uk.
