Respondent: Mr M C Bennett
I am writing as a local resident to object to the above application.
I am greatly concerned about the proposal to build at Brays Lane and the alleged improvement of King Edmond School; if it goes ahead it will have significant detrimental effects on the environment and the local community. As a local resident this is a matter of concern which affects me and other local residents.
The applications should be rejected on the following grounds.
Building new homes will not improve Rochford in any way it will only cause our Town to become more congested and further traffic generation in this area would be a major problem. It would cause a major strain on the one access road in to and out of Rochford, which is already under great pressure.
The area is home to animals and bird's which is a conservation area. The development will harm the amenities of the neighbouring properties by virtue of its size and massing, and will not respect or enhance the surrounding area at all.
Perhaps instead of building houses and improving King Edmond School we should build new schools in these areas from where we are transporting pupils in to Rochford, using heavy commercial vehicles down small roads restricting residents parking and inconvenicing the residents in this area.
The building in this area will affect our privacy and the noise swearing and shouting already from the 5 football pitches till late at night is already a great problem.
Rochford has a village feel although it is a town and the people who live in Rochford would say the same. Rochford has had its fair share of new builds and to build even more housing here would put a strain on facilities shops, doctors and nursery schools.
I moved to Rochford five years ago and I took a great deal of time to find the right place to live and to have this disrupted and destroyed is not right, just because the government needs to build housing.
I have worked hard to achieve the home that I have and do not want it to be devalued in this way by people who do not even live here this is my home and my future.
