My house is no.1 cedar walk, according to this plan I am losing my garden. My garden is also next to the Anglian Water sewerage pump station, also disappearing in your plan... Living next to the sewer pump does not bother me despite the fact that it makes a noise on and off all day and night and we get a rat or two visiting, what would annoy me is the fact of having my view spoilt by a larger sewer station to accom these 60 houses and their waste alongside lack of garden and all my view of a housing estate- What value will my house have left if any? I want to move but this will not be possible if what we currently have here is ruined.
I moved here to get away from the urban jungle, my son has asthma so that will be just great to subject him to the extra pollution from the 60 minimum cars that will be in the 'back garden'.
What about the widlife? We have badgers on sc2, sc3 and sc4 sites so what happens to them?
At the point of scotts hall rd it floods as do the ditches alongside the sc2 route, sc1 would be underwater and it's no better at along canewdon rd itself, these could not be widened to accom the extra traffic as that would mean more established property removal. Ask anyone travelling down this rd what it's like after just one day of rain. These flood areas also ice over for a lot of the cold weather- the bottom of scotts hall covers across the whole road onto canewdon rd, I ride a motorbike so it is impossible to get past.
What will happen to the local school with all the extra children? The building cannot expand without causing a loss to yet more greenfield or on the current grounds now at the detriment to the current children.
What about the healthcare, we are lucky if we fall I'll on a Friday when the surgery is open for an hour, how will the 120+ people deal with this, I don't see an already stretched NHS service being improved when all these local developments go ahead, not just canewdon.
This is now keeping me awake at night with the worry of so many things wrong with all the plans, I don't see that any of us will be listened to, why out of all the supposed sites offered are these 4 even thought to be viable?
What of the history of Canewdon? We have a very famous church which is sought out, particularly on Halloween that will be nice for the new residents, and lovely for us to have the extra firework celebrations from various times of the year added to our quiet village.
Including losing my garden and the beautiful 3 bungalows which back onto my garden I don't see any provisions to keep the mature trees? I can only hope that as a village we are not split apart by these ridiculous plans as if you intend to 'purchase' my garden you have to buy my house too at a decent price not what the price will be once you have dessimated the area.
The building work that will go on will further upset me as to pay for said house we work nights so canewdon is ideal for the days to be quiet, there goes that too, ruining the last small historic village in S E Essex, I here Foulness is quite empty these days shame the government doesn't use it's own disused land.
