Representation Summary:

6.37 The IAO states that it's vital to 'protect the character of settlements. A balanced strategy ... ensure that housing need was met across the district, and supported by appropriate infrastructure.'
Hullbridge has a unique identity and needs to have its settlement protected. It does not have the appropriate infrastructure to cope with any more house building. Many roads are unadopted and unsuitable for additional wear and tear from extra vehicles. The existing amenities are insufficient to cope with any additional increase to population. It is a village.
