Dear Sir
With regards to options NRL1, NRL2, NRL3, NRL4 and NRL5 we have lived on the London Road for 29 years. During that time we have seen the completion of the Little Wheatley Estate and its extention, the 'Bird' Estate and a development at the top end of Victoria Avenue. We are now faced with continuous traffic and severe hold-ups each morning and evening with not a lot of let-up during the day. If any of these developments go ahead there will be an additional 500+ cars trying to get to Rayleigh either through London Road or Rawreth Lane with the same result - gridlock!!
I understand there are 'brown' sites north of Rawreth Lane which have been offered by Rawreth Parish Council. Why can this not be a viable proposition?
Why does it appear to be that every housing development for Rochford District Council has to be placed west of Rayleigh?
The plans show a light industrial estate on the London Road and our objections regarding traffic are as above. A site adjacent to the A127 and A1245 has been suggested and this would surely be a better solution.
If there has to be a travellers site in the area can it not be amalgamated with the illegal one that is near Rawreth Lane on the A1245.
the final thought on this is that you are taking agricultural land which is needed and where will we be once it has all gone?
Trust you will consider our feelings on this.
