I object to all of the planned areas for residential development NLR1 - NLR5, but very strongly object to NLR3. The A129 is a heavily used and often congested main route at peak times, and certainly could not cope with the additional number of vehicles that would be trying to use it if there were more housing to be built along it. As a resident of Rayleigh for 30 years I have seen more and more development occur with loss of green belt and little or no improvement to the area infrastructure and these plans are to the detriment of residents.

I believe the brown belt land which falls within the Rawreth boundary just past Bedloes Corner (sites of garage and nusery) along the A1245 would be a much better location for new housing.
