As a resident of Western road I really need to voice my concerns over the proposed developments as listed above. Whilst recognising the need for more housing across the county we have already started to creep on areas enjoyed by wildlife and where the community, our children and our pets are able to enjoy walks and exercise. Some areas I accept that have been selected in recent times are prime sites given their size and location but I cannot understand or accept why you would be considering this development in Great Wheatley's. In addition to my comments above I would add we already have a lack of schools and services in the area and above all I really don't see how the roads can sustain what is effectively a new village. The routes in and out of my road and Great Wheatley would completely disrupt the feel to our road, and local community, and totally transform (for the worse) the family environment I bought in to when I moved in to the area 11 ag o.

I really hope when you consider all of your options you will take my comments, and those of my fellow friends and residents, very seriously as I really see big infrastructure issues with this project. That is the practical plea the more emotional one is that it will totally transform what is a very nice part of Rayleigh with a good mix of housing and green belt. An area where people inside the town go out of their way to come and enjoy walks and family days out.
