Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 18579

Received: 27/04/2010

Respondent: Mr Simon Tidman

Representation Summary:

I am strongly against the increase in residential housing in this area of Rayleigh. Traffic congestion on London road/ Rawreth lane is already excessive as the road network is overloaded. The plans also cover the possibility to add traveller sites which based on experiences in Basildon will increase the amount of policing required/crime and decrease the value of property. The area is quiet and fairly rural being bounded by fields and this benefit should not be taken away from the residents who bought here for these reasons. The development will also jeopardise community resources in the area, Pitches, community clubs.
