Respondent: Mr Martyn Wilkins
Further residential development to the west of Rayleigh is undesirable. The proposed large-scale development of 550 houses between London Road and Rawreth Lane should be reconsidered in favour of smaller developments spread within Rochford District. Reallocation of brown field sites such as Rawreth Industrial Estate and sites adjacent to Chelmsford Road north of Rawreth Lane should be reallocated to housing rather than sacrificing agricultural land and eroding the Green Belt.
London Road is already congested at peak times. Congestion on Crown Hill is a problem without an obvious solution. This development will potentially add another 1000 cars to local roads.
