Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 19323

Received: 19/04/2010

Respondent: Julia Hall

Representation Summary:

I wish to register my objection to the proposals for future housing in the Rayleigh / Rawreth area.

I object to NLR1, 2, 3 4 and 5 because they will

Cause an unnecessary loss of agricultural land - unlike Southend the Rochford district has so far managed to maintain a percentage of agricultural land. To start to build on this area between London Road and Rawreth Lane would be the thin end of the wedge. If this continues how long would it be before Rayleigh, Rawreth & Wickford all merge together? The green belt boundary must be protected.

These proposals will increase the traffic which is already at breaking point - since the arrival of Asda, the Sports Centre, the relocation of the school and the increased housing in that area Rawreth Lane is always busy and at peak times it is almost impossible to get out of our road.
