The
Bellingville Borough Council has recently enacted a new policy aimed at addressing concerns about increasing residential density. This policy requires all new residential buildings exceeding three stories in height to incorporate a dedicated communal green space on the ground floor. The move comes in response to the growing number of developments by the
Montgomery Housing Company, which have seen a surge in popularity due to their affordability and modern amenities. While these developments offer much-needed housing options, some residents have expressed concerns about the potential impact on neighborhood character and access to green spaces. The new policy seeks to strike a balance between providing housing and preserving the quality of life for
Bellingville residents. By mandating communal green spaces in new developments, the borough council hopes to encourage social interaction, provide opportunities for outdoor recreation, and mitigate the effects of increased density.
