Proposed development is wrong for this village & will detrimentally change village community.
Roads are already inadequate for current traffic. Proposals in Hullbridge & throughout the district will increase this traffic & lead to major travel issues, especially for villagers.
Current infrastructure, especially sewerage is already under pressure & cannot cope with additional demands.
Proposal builds on a natural flood plain & will lead to long term flooding issues.
Where are the jobs for new residents; surely better to provide jobs in areas where there is high unemployment rather than encourage people to move from their existing roots.
This unacceptable proposed development is not fully integrated into the existing village, is too large & being built in an area subject to flooding. It will cause detrimental changes to the community nature of the village & it's surrounds making it a less desirable place to live.
The local roads already suffer when Watery Lane &/or the A127 are closed or have problems; recent incidents resulted in delays of over 1 hour to get the 2 miles to Rayleigh outskirts. Proposed Watery Lane improvements will do nothing to improve the traffic situation along Lower Road through Hullbridge; in fact further building proposals in Rochford district will further increase traffic flow through the village & exasperate the situation. Regular forced use of Rawreth Lane when Watery Lane is closed is not a viable option; this road is already overly utilised with long traffic delays @ peak times.
Job opportunities?.. already limited for many locals, especially youth .. where will the new residents of the proposed housing work?
Local sewerage services are already @ or near maximum & cannot cope with this increase usage.
