Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 19819

Received: 30/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Heather Butcher

Representation Summary:

This proposed site would have serious consequences for traffic on London Road, Rayleigh. The traffic is extremely busy at peak times at the moment with the queues stretching from the Town Centre back to the Carpenters Arms roundabout from around 4.45 p.m. until 6.30 p.m., and the same in the morning rush hour.
With 550 houses there is a likelihood of an extra 600 to 700 extra cars using this road - traffic would be at an absolute standstill with access for emergency vehicles anywhere within this area as impossible.
Building on Flood Zone 3 is also a cause for concern.
