With regard to the proposed development to land North & South of Brays Lane Rochford.

We strongly object to the above planning for the following reasons: -

Brays Lane is narrow and already has HGV's speeding up and down, with no regard for oncoming traffic, my daughter lives in Stambridge we use this route frequently, the lorries are so big they actually take up ¾ of the road, and my family are always having to move over onto the grass verge to avoid a collision. Any increase in traffic will only make this road more dangerous.

Ashingdon road is already highly congested especially during morning and evenings, from Rochford Station back to the Victory Public House. From Brays Lane our road crossing has been moved further away from us and any further traffic from new developments will only make this worse. The pavement is very narrow and a few years ago a very dear family friend was killed in the area.

There has already been housing developments off of Golden Cross Road, we do not see the need for more housing in this area, especially on green belt land, at the moment we are not overlooked our garden is very small and if this proposal goes ahead we would loose the country feel which is quiet and peaceful, this proposal would also affect the surrounding wildlife, we have bats, foxes, squirrels and variety of wild birds

We would like you to take our objection into consideration before passing the plans.
