If this development went ahead it would not only be the residents of the Western side of Rayleigh who would suffer due to an increase in traffic. A high proportion of the resultant increase in road traffic would need to head in a London or Southend direction via the A127. In selecting a single large preffered location in one area for all the additional housing required in Rayleigh the resulting traffic will be concentrated in one area, as opposed to spreading this additional road traffic burden across the three A127 junctions from Rayleigh. A larger number of smaller sites around Rayleigh would spread the additional traffic burden and offer a greater re-use of existing infrastructure. This would provide Rayleigh with a better solution and avoid a single point of failure or bottleneck.
