Further to your letter of 18th October I wish to assert that my strong objection to the Strategic Plan is better expressed in the submissions of the West Rochford Action Group. It is quite unbelievable that you could contemplate building on prime agricultural land such as exists on the north side of Hall Road. To attempt to assuage the opponents of this proposal by declaring that only one percent of green belt is likely to be affected ignores the distinction between green belt land which may have no agricultural value and agricultural land, in this case prime.
The chaos caused by the development would make Hall Road almost impassable over several years.
The proper criteria for new houses is that of local need and the present proposals in the requirement of numbers is massively in excess of that need.
