Representation Summary:


People are fed up with every spare blade of grass being build upon. One house knocked down and two/three more in its place - planning laws need to be tightened up as there were originally set up for sounds reasons to prevent over-development of areas and loss of green belt.

against the overbuilding of Rayleigh - another primary school but no senior school! You knocked down Park School to build more houses - no new senior school though.

I am interested to know where all these children will go to school? Surely town planners should always factor in new senior schools when building thousands of houses.

In all my time in Rayleigh (45 years) only two senior schools have been in existence namely Sweyne and Fitzimarc (although have to admit there was briefly a third one - Park School which you knocked down for more houses). There appears to be no forward planning in your ideas for Rayleigh as the more houses you build, the more primary schools you will need and the more senior schools are required - simply maths I would have thought.
