Failure to consult the Hullbridge Plan Group and Hullbridge Action Group. The sewerage system within Hullbridge is at/or very near capacity, the report mentions this but no full assessment of that need has been made so far. The assessment also of road improvement needed is inadequate as it has not taken the impact into account of how much extra traffic will use Ferry Road, this was not mentioned. Rawreth Lane is at full capacity already and when Watery Lane is closed which is often and for some prolonged periods, the traffic around Hullbridge/Rawreth backs up along Downhall Road/Rawreth Lane towards Rayleigh itself. Also the Hullbridge Road, Lower Road, to Hockley and Rochford making journeys (often to work) to or from Rayleigh, Chelmsford very difficult, time consuming and expensive on fuel.
We already have a Youth Centre that is underused, due to lack of investment, that would attract youth, there is a skate park, but these facilities should be used more if upgraded. We already have 3 large supermarkets and parking is difficult now.
Although the proposed area to be developed is not shown as a flood risk, even though it has been because the area is farmland, it was not necessary to make any insurance claims. Unlike householders, flood risk is based on insurance claims made.
