Net immigration accounts for like 0.2% population growth year on year, it's basically a rounding error. It's clearly not the cause of those issues.
The issue with housing is we haven't been building any houses. Population is bigger than ever but in the last decade housebuilding reached its lowest level for 100 years or something (ignoring WWII). That's insane.
The issue with services is lack of funding. Increasing the number of users from 1000 to 1002 isn't going to be the straw that breaks the GP's back.
Edit: recognise that I'm shooting the messenger slightly
