Sites as proposed in land availability 2017 document will totally overwhelm the now village which will move towards town status with plans for expansion already in force. Roads within village, many are single track and un-adopted, cost to upgrade should not be borne by residents. Current road structure to the village not of sufficient standard to support what is already a "rat run" from Chelmsford area to Southend. Services are stretched before current expansion started. "Green Belt" should remain until all other options have been explored such as brownfield sites and land being held by organisations with intent to profit
