Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 20084

Received: 20/04/2010

Respondent: Mr I Eyres

Representation Summary:

Dear sir / madam, i would like to take this opportunity to object to the proposed housing in and around Rawreth Lane.

I believe your sites are identified as NLR 1-5

As a long term Rayleigh resident I believe housing in this area is already unsustainable, any increase will continue to increase traffic levels beyond what is already an excessive amount.

We moved to this house 10 years ago to be close ot the country side, not to live in the middle of another urban sprawl.

Additional houses would require more facilities (such as a swimming pool etc) to keep the young people entertained, yet none has been mentioned.

Queues at the traffic lights to turn from the old A130 into Rawreth Lane (when heading north) are already long enough to block dangerously the fast lane of the road


It will also cause an unnecessary loss of agricultural land, and continue to blur the boundary between Rawreth and Rayleigh.


Presumably Travelers on what ever site they end up on will be subject to the same planning rules (and punishment for non compliance) as they rest of the population ?
