The field running adjacent the The Parry has a wide diversity of wildlife which will be lost forever if this build goes ahead.
We have a huge variety of birds that visit not only my garden but in the surrounding area. We have both hedge sparrows & house sparrows ( declining species), blue tits, coal tits, great tits, long tail tits, dunnocks, green finches, gold finches, chaffinches, a variety of woodpeckers, sparrow hawks , magpies, crows, herons, collar doves, wood pigeons, blackbirds, thrushes, starlings, swallows, house martins, swift's, nightingales, pheasants, egrets, owls & even kestrels. There are also hedgehogs ( another endangered species) in the area ( these hibernate in my garden), moles, rabbits, hares, foxes, squirrels, badgers & there are also muntjac deer in the area.
Do we really need to lose this diversity ?

I live in Havenside Little Wakering & I object to the planning application for the above reference number most strongly for the following reasons.
The field running adjacent the The Parry has a wide diversity of wildlife which will be lost forever if this build goes ahead.

I understand the need for more housing but we simply do not have the infrastructure to support the current new builds let alone another 7500 The locals schools are full! The doctors surgery is full! The public transport is not enough to support this amount of building. The local roads are country lanes. With this amount of building there is a potential 15000+ children requiring a school place, a potential 15000+ cars on our country lanes, a potential 30000+ people requiring a doctor!
I am not sure if this is accurate, but I was informed that there is only 1 main sewer leading out of the village too. How on earth will this cope with all the new builds?
We rarely see a policeman in the village anymore & I was told by a policeman that if we need urgent assistance after 5pm, then the police have to come from Canvey! Whoever needs that assistance could potentially be dead by the time help arrived.
This planned housing does not appear to have been properly thought out.
The power that decide these issues do not live in this area.

THEREFORE I OBJECT TO THIS PROPOSED PLANNING IN THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE TERMS............
