Representation Summary:

It is unsustainable under the PPS12 as follows:

Travel - we have very limited public transport and even buses are often cut out for no reason

- increase of cars, I often have problems trying to get out of Poplars Avenue due to the amount of cars now

- inability to improve highways

- distance from shops and railway

Environment - semi rural location unsuitable for large development

- loss of character

- loss of green belt (green belt was protected by past governments and even if it is only 1% now what about the percentages taken in future. Green belt is sacrosanct! (You should be congratulated on saving so much in this area in the past).

- loss of wildlife

- NO social, economic or environmental benefits whatsoever

I understand that you are wanting public views about the above and I would like to make objections on various counts

1. Objection to Rochford Core Strategy of 175 houses in Hawkwell is unsound because the vital requirements of PPS12 are not met in terms of sustainability and therefore the location of Hawkwell West should be removed by The Inspector. It is unsustainable under the PPS12 as follows:

Travel - we have very limited public transport and even buses are often cut out for no reason

- increase of cars, I often have problems trying to get out of Poplars Avenue due to the amount of cars now

- inability to improve highways

- distance from shops and railway

Environment - semi rural location unsuitable for large development

- loss of character

- loss of green belt (green belt was protected by past governments and even if it is only 1% now what about the percentages taken in future. Green belt is sacrosanct! (You should be congratulated on saving so much in this area in the past).

- loss of wildlife

- NO social, economic or environmental benefits whatsoever

2. Objection to Planning Application of 330 houses by David Wilson Homes

3. Objection to unelected East of England Regional Assembly making decisions on our behalf.
