Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 20589

Received: 14/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs L Green

Representation Summary:

It has just been brought to my attention, the councils proposed future development plans for the area surrounding my home. I am totally opposed to further development here. Since I moved here 31 years ago the area has had many area's developed and this has made the London Road far too busy. Morning and evening rush hours are horendous; traffic at a crawl or totally standstill. Trying to turn onto the road is nearly impossible because of the volume of traffic. The schols are not capable of taking the extra children. The sewers are not able to take the extra volume of sewage which would be created.

As for industrial sites closer to my home, this would bring even further traffic and pollution and stop the enjoyment of our homes in the area. I thought we were supposed to have the green belt in existence. It seems the council wants to toally spoil our area and allow building on every available space. Why?

There are many empty houses in the area, why allow more to be built. There have been many problems with traveller sites in our area. At Ramsden Heath problems have occured with the site/neightbouring houses. People withdrew their children from the local school and travellers enrolled their children there because they needed to be educated. The school now has massive abenteeism.

You already appear to be doing nothing about the illegal site in Rawreth A130. Other sites keep appearing on A127 Rayleigh between Progress Road and A130 turnoff and further towards Basildon. Why do you not insist on planning permission being required as with the normal proceedures required and take appropriate action? We have done building in the past I had to obtain permission. It is one law for us and another for others. We had to find our own accommodation and pay for things legally. People who do things 'illegally' appear to get help by being given sites to live on. This doesn't seem right to me. You are giving the ok to spoil our area and this just is not right. The traffic/sewage/schools/doctors/dentists/hospitals etc will not be able to cope. Please see sense before ruining life here for everyone.
