Representation Summary:

To withdraw such developments and consider the possibility of a new town in an area that can cope with expansion and new road networks

Full text:

The roads in the area already suffer from grid lock on more and more numerous occasions and not only will the Hullbridge proposed development be further crippling to this, but so will proposed developments in Ashingdon and Canewdon, as Hullbridge is a natural bypass for these areas. Up grades to Watery Lane will always be insufficient and a bypass necessary at the cost of the developers. There should be no vehicular access into Hullbridge from the development, there is already inadequate parking for the shops in Ferry Road which is dangerous at peak periods. Access should be pedestrian only.
I am also concerned about the term dwellings not houses, could a block of flats be termed as a dwelling perhaps there could be 500 dwellings but 2000 families?
The idea of building houses on land which must be a flood plain is asking for problems for the surrounding area and good luck living near the sewerage plant with the prevailing wind pointing immediately towards the area. It would seem that the plant is already unable to cope in its present state due the unpleasant odoures experienced at times during the year
