Respondent: Mr J Cripps

Representation Summary:

In conjunction with MM20 (5% cap removal) this 30 metre (instead of 60 metre) limitation on distance from residential building is effectively encouraging an increase in the number of units to be built.

I therefore object to the Inspector's proposal to change from 60 metres to 30 metres limitation because: -

A. The effectively undefined number of units to be built will make it very nigh impossible to plan/cater for infrastructure (in all respects) needs.

B. It will encourage developers to 'creep' ever closer to the only remaining Farmland/Greenbelt buffer to the west of Rayleigh - east of Rawreth.

C. The sheer scale of the site will negatively impact both Rawreth Lane and London Road in respect of years of construction site traffic and subsequent ongoing mass domestic traffic usage.

D. The RDC Plan, as it stood, is at best a vague concept, I see no meaningful study work on the various impacts and have no confidence in profit driven Developers doing anything but exploiting this even lesser restriction.
