Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 19565

Received: 29/04/2010

Respondent: Mr Len Wiley

Representation Summary:

Inadequacy of Rawreth Lane to cope with increased traffic flow.

Also, this proposal seems to be eliminating a potential green belt boundary rather than creating the potential for one!

There has already been too much development to the west of Rayleigh. More traffic will force even more residents to abandon Rayleigh town centre for other shopping centres rather than increase usage of the town.

We see the usual promises of infrastructure provision to meet the needs of the development. A look at other recent developments will show that such promises are rarely kept once the developer gets the go-ahead.
