We object to sites/options SEA1, SEA2 and SEA3 reasons as follows:

Would put enormous strain on what is already over congested traffic in the area. Rochford will already be over capacitated with the new railway station and airport expansion, our roads will not take the excess traffic as it is.

Would overload Oxford Road's traffic, this road is extremely narrow compared to other sites and already burdened by heavy traffic from King Edmund School. Particularly from the school entrance adjoining Ashingdon Road, should 500 dwellings and further access ways be added this would increase the problem.

A defensible Green Belt boundary could not be maintained.

Could result in the devaluation of properties in Oxford Road.

Alternate sites to consider - WR1, WR2, WR3 and WR4; these sites have less existing dwellings and could filter onto larger roads.
