The selection of Monument and similarly dark coloured roofing and cladding is adding to the problem of the heat island effect. These large blocks of land which up until now were a cooling space of green space are being turned into a mass of dark, heat absorbing and reflecting hard surfaces. The scant number of trees planned for the surrounding narrow landscape that even at full height in years to come will not alleviate the problem for the residents and neighbours when those roofs heat up during the day in summer and radiate the heat back into the air over night. This also means the residents will be forced to rely on air con to remain comfortable in their homes and being outside will be uncomfortable. As more of the R3 zones are developed surrounding this these buildings and select similar colours, the problem increases. Change the colours to reflect the heat, not absorb it.
