Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 18711

Received: 28/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Lyn Hopkins

Representation Summary:

This is high quality green belt farmland and should be preserved as such .Building 550 houses on this land is completely unsustainable and commences coalescence with Rayleigh and Wickford.
Drainage systems and extra run off will cause extra flooding in Watery Lane, closed twice this year due to flooding.
All surrounding roads are full to capacity and frequently gridlocked. Cllr Hudson stated categorically that all access to this development would be from A129, clearly this is untrue - access would be directly from Rawreth Lane too, causing massive increase in traffic.
This is the worst of the NLR proposals.
