Please note my objections to the proposed development of 770 houses on land between London Road and Rawreth Lane
in Rayleigh and also the resiting of the Rawreth Industrial site.I have lived in Rayleigh for 27 years and sadly have seen so much development take place on land when I bought my property was assured it would be kept for recreational purposes.The traffic that uses the London Road is now constant 24 hours where once upon a time you could have a peaceful nights sleep with your windows open that now is a thing of the past and a relaxing sit in the garden is also another novelty unless you put earplugs in.I travel to chelmsford to work and it quite often takes me longer to drive from Rawreth Lane to my home on the London Road then it takes me to do the other 14 miles so with another 770 houses I would probably find it quicker to walk to Chelmsford.I did note the local paper reported the council had refused the Rayleigh Boys football club's application for football pitches strange that being it will be were they want the new houses to be built.I would also object to the siting of a travellers site near to swallow nurseries.when you come round the roundabout a Carpenters arms you have a sign that says welcome to Rayleigh with a Travellers site a few yards away what a wonderful impression that will give to anyone coming to Rayleigh.When we asked for a Swimming pool to be put in Rayleigh town we were told no strange how decent rate paying residents get short shrift from Rochford Council
