Representation Summary:

Believe this plan has still not had a proper consultation with the local population. Posting something on a web site does not constitute consultation.

The size and value of this development is significant and should have been discussed properly with open and honest discussion.

This in the the context of our village is a very important thing and will change the fabric of the community.

The people responsible for the passing of the plans have shown a complete lack of honesty and integrity.

As someone who grew up in the Laindon area of basildon during the sixties and seventies i witnessed the true effects of "Planning Blight", I wonder if the people responsible are aware of sheer hatred and loathing that will follow these developments.

i am astonished by sheer lack of imagination of the variouse developments. Rather then look forgetter alternatives to building on "green belt"/green areas at a stroke they have allowed plans to be passed on areas the the entire population of this country have grown up to view as sacred.

If we allow these green areas to be developed there is no going back they are lost forever, I wonder how future genarations will view this.

I am fully aware of the need for affordable housing, but what we are faced with is totally unacceptable and will inevitably lead to some bitter disputes in the future.

- As it is the roads surrounding Hullbridge are at busy times almost gridlocked. When Waterylane for example floods it causes chaos.

- Whatever road study was done it could not have been done at normal times of day or more likely during the school holidays when traffic is lighter, as best this is deceitful and at worst corrupt.

- Had you allowed less houses per acre there may have been a chance some of this may have been viewed as a positive thing, but by building so many houses per acre you inflicting gridlock on the surrounding roads and effectively sticking two fingers up to the local population.

- Is the "Elephant in the room" a Government driven panicked response the brexet negotiations to create a 'housing boom" to help balance to books. if so this most cynical panicked approach is not necessary and will lead to a further fragmentation of communities.

- There many brownfield and empty properties that could be used to help solve the housing problem.
