Although SWH1 fits neatly onto the south western corner of Hullbridge and would be the obvious choice compared to the three alternatives it really doesn't make sense to expand the village for three particular reasons.
Flooding, traffic congestion and drainage/sewage.
Back in 1963 Lower Road was flooded very badly and even today (22nd February '10) Watery Lane was flooded and impassable. Furthermore, the area of Malyons field to the north of The Priories retains the water until it overflows into the surrounding gardens, garages and sewers.
Access in and out of the village particularly on the Hullbridge Road/Rawreth Lane/Watery Lane can be a complete nightmare and the development would only make things worse.
I therefore object to this proposal on the grounds of very poor infrastructure.
