I am writing to you to strongly object to the planning application 17/00862/REM PP-06533180 dwellings of up to 180 houses between Star Lane and Alexander Road.
There are a number of reasons for my objection to this planning application, firstly I live with my family at 279 High Street Great Wakering therefore the proposed planning backs directly onto our back garden causing considerable upset to us, not only will we be losing our beautiful view of open fields (one of the reasons for buying our house in the first place) but also the massive amount of noise and mess that we will have to endure for a number of years whilst 180 dwellings are built. There will be massive detrimental disruption to all the wildlife that dwells on or around this proposed development including to wild birds, bats, newts (in the lakes) etc. Plus I believe our infrastructure and services I.e, schools , doctors, local shops and roads to name but a few things, our local junior schools are already over subscribed and we have no senior school in the nearby vicinity children having to get onto council provided buses into Ashingdon. We live opposite the local doctors and can already see how difficult it is to get an appointment and how busy they are without the proposed extra 180 potential familys moving in. As for local shops there are only 2 or 3 convenience shops in Great Wakering all extremely busy with limited parking spaces. And finally road infrastructure as within most of the Rochford borough the roads are already overly busy and within Great Wakering we have a very limited bus service so if the proposal goes ahead roads will at certain times I'm sure become grid locked. But lastly and I think most importantly most of the local people of Great Wakering do not want this building proposal to go ahead, Great Wakering is a small village with a nice community atmosphere we do not want this spoilt with over development.
