Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 21314

Received: 27/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Zoe Terry

Representation Summary:

As a general rule, I have no objections to building new houses on an old industrial site, as long as the relevant facilities are also built, i.e.
Doctors, parks and schools.

In order to accommodate these 220 new homes it is VITAL that a new school is built as I do not believe the 4 schools in the local vicinity (St Nicholas, Downhall, Our Lady of Ransom and Glebe) can accommodate them without detrimental effect. IF THE NEW SCHOOL IS NOT GOING TO BE BUILT THEN I OBJECT TO THE HOUSES BEING BUILT!

Re: Relocating Rawreth Lane Industrial Estate

I strongly object to it being put anywhere on the London Road (A129) in West Rayleigh, as all industrial estates should be kept well away from residential areas. This is especially the case with Rawreth Lane Industrial Estate as it is experiencing lots of dust pollution. West Rayleigh would then be expected to put up with more traffic congestion, traffic pollution and dust pollution.

Re: Development Ref: NLR1-5

I also strongly object to a further 550 houses being built on both greenbelt land and a floodplain. I do not believe we should ever build houses on either as this is just asking for trouble bearing in mind our current climate. Floodplains are there for a very important reason!

I also feel the traffic it would cause down the A129 would be horrific as this road is already a very busy and congested road.

There is no way the local schools can accommodate a further 550 houses.

I believe West Rayleigh should/could not accommodate ANY more developments!
Our infrastructure cannot cope, i.e. Travel, schooling, doctors and sewerage.

Re: Gypsy & Travelers site Ref GT3

I do not feel the best place for the travelers site is down the A129. There is already a travelers site on the A1245, between Rayleigh and Rawreth, why not make this site bigger? Why lose more greenfields in an already built up area. I therefore feel option GT2 is the best solution.

I feel West Rayleigh is being bombarded with potential developments which will totally ruin the area - 770 house, an industrial estate and travelers site.

DO NOT BUILD EVERYWHERE AND RUIN OUR GREEN SPACE.
