Does not acknowledge coalescence between Rayleigh & Rawreth. Affects Rawreth Lane. Links 800 new dwellings to 665 dwellings built off Rawreth lane in past 20yrs. Adds unacceptable levels of traffic to already congested road.
*** I disagree with these summaries, please read the full submission.
Section: H1
Para 4.19. Bullet 9. The avoidance of coalescence with neighbouring settlements.
This Core Strategy submission states: "there is a need to avoid the coalescence with neighbouring settlements". This statement is unsound as it is being ignored in the case of Rawreth and Rayeigh.
The coalescence will occur in the vicinity of Rawreth Lane, which is a busy 2 mile stretch of road with approximately 1 mile in Rayleigh and 1 mile in Rawreth.
In the past 20 years, the Rayleigh section has had a number of new estates linked, by access roads, to it. A total of 665 new dwellings have been built on these estates during this period.
With the submitted proposal for an additional 770 dwellings (550 &220) 'North of London Road' and immediately adjacent the existing Rayleigh housing estates this can only be described as a blatant move to coalescence.
