Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 20086

Received: 21/04/2010

Respondent: Mr P Middleditch

Representation Summary:

As regards the traveller sites, I am opposed so long as they (travellers):
Don't pay council tax, or indeed any "tax" that other home-owners are required to pay
Flout planning rules by (for example) using sites for commercial purposes or erecting buildings outside of planning consent
Fail to send their children to school, a reason they often quote for wanting permanent sites
However, GT1&2 are looking to expand/make permanent an existing site - so I agree with this location. I do not agree with GT3 & GT7, new locations.

Full text:

Having lived in Teignmouth Drive for almost 10 years, I am strongly against some of the developments being considered for this part of Rayleigh, specifically:
NLR1 (Particularly this planning application)
NLR2
NLR3
NLR4
NLR5

Why:
Loss of greenbelt land
Increased traffic, especially in the rat-run I live in (Teignmouth Drive)
Increased pressure on local healthcare (doctors/dentists)
