Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 21101

Received: 22/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs C Panrucker

Representation Summary:

I recently attended 2 meetings at Hullbridge regarding the proposed 500 houses that to be built at Hullbridge and Gipsy Sites. We strongly oppose to this.

Hullbridge is a low crime area and everyone in Hullbridge have worked hard within the community to keep it this way, but with the proposed plans no way would this be the case and would result in more policing etc.

Hullbridge would not be able to cope with the drainage as we already have problems with flooding and many houses have needed underpinning etc.

Access to and from - Hullbridge to Rayleigh and surrounding areas is already a problem, but capable it the proposed plans take place there would be big problems to residents getting in and out of the village and putting extra lengthy times on their travel to work etc. The roads in and around Hullbridge are not good enough to hold more traffic and would cause more accidents etc.

Tourists from London etc visit Hullbridge to get away from hustle and bustle, but once your proposed plans take place this will decline drastically as it will not be the pretty, clean village where they can have a quiet drink along the river anymore. The village will be to built up and more like an Estate and will need policy at all times.

The residents in Hullbridge have worked very hard to keep it clean, tidy lovely village but this will all change and our hard work would have been a complete and utter waste of time and money.

We pay our Council taxes and should be heard as to what would be good for Hullbridge and strongly as you to block these proposed plans as Hullbridge would no longer be a village but become a concrete jungle.
