Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 19685

Received: 29/04/2010

Respondent: Miss Emma Howard

Representation Summary:

There is already a large concentration of housing developments in this area of Rayleigh and the infrastructure and amenities are insufficient to cater for the needs of the existing residents.

There are only limited places available in existing infant/primary schools and the two senior schools in this area are already heavily oversubscribed.

The lack of public transport and facilities for children, teenagers and adults in this area already adds to the increase in car travel and volume of traffic on an already heavily congested and dangerous road so additional housing on this scale would only make it worse.
