Building 550 houses onhigh quality farmland within the Green Belt is completely unsustainable. It should be protected and preserved as such. GB1. Extra problems with drainage and run-off increases the potential for flooding in Watery Lane - closed twice this year already due to heavy rain.
Local roads A129/A1245/Rawreth Lane/Beeches Road/Watery Lane are already full to capacity and frequently gridlocked. Recent traffic survey registered over 7,000 vehicles during a 12 hour period in both directions along Rawreth Lane and over 2,000 each way in Beeches Road.
E17 is on our "buffer" which should prevent housing right upto A1245
