Why so many houses for such a small village? This would inappropriately increase the size of the village, there is only one small primary school, no secondary school. A new development on the outskirts on the village will be so isolated- you might as well give it a seprate name. People will just drive into Rayleigh. It will become one of those commuter towns where people don't know their neighbours - not what the village of hullbridge is like at all. I am devastated at the thought of it. What is a 'defensable green belt boundry'? What about the boundry with the green belt that already exists?
