I consider the DPD is unsound as the identity and character of rural Rawreth will be affected as it becomes simply an extension of Rayleigh and the additional traffic causes increased danger, polution and damage to the fabric of the roads. Rawreth Lane cannot cope with the amount of traffic now at peak times, especially when it is being used to circumnavigate an accident elsewhere. We have already lost the Reid's Nursery site to housing and the Park School site to the development of ASDA and the new sports centre and further development cannot be sustained by the existing infrastructure.
