Re:Proposed development to the North & South of Brays Lane.


We object most stronly to ANY development taking place for many reasons,
in particular:

Ther is no valid reason why King Edmund School should need yet another 2 football pitches, which would make a total of 7 !!

Brays Lane is a country road, BUT, used more and more by HGV's. By building both sides of Brays Lane would lead to unsustainable volume of traffic, and at certain times of the day eg rush hour/school time, may very well lead to "gridlock"

Canewdon View Road and Golden Cross Road have become "rat runs"
for traffic leaving the Ashingdon Road, more houses means more vehicles,
which would lead to increased and severe congestion to all these roads.

Green belt land should remain, so that current/future generations can enjoy
wildlife/open spaces etc.

Substantial development has already been carried out in the area
eg Trafalgar Green/Golden Cross Mews, without ANY improvement to the infrastructure, more houses would only degenerate the area further.

Ashingdon Road, is at most times of the day very busy, and at certain times of the day eg rush hour/school time, almost at "gridlock", if this development was approved, then Ashingdon Road and sourrounding roads
could become totally "blocked".

The council has a duty to all it's tax payers to act on their comments,
we therefore urge you to reject ANY proposed development to either the
North or South of Brays Lane.
