Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 19179

Received: 29/04/2010

Respondent: Mr Paul Orrock

Representation Summary:

The London road is very busy and one of only two roads into Rayleigh from the west. At rush hour this road is always jammed and adding 200+ houses and a primary school here would only increase the pressure on this very congested route. It also takes away the farmland that currently provides a sense of being in a country town as you approach from the A1245. It is difficult to see how this provides a defensible area since developers could then push for land to the north and west to be used to Rawreth Lane and the A1245.
