Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

Representation ID: 3597

Received: 12/12/2008

Respondent: Mrs Gill Plackett

Representation Summary:

The 750 new homes in the Hawkwell/Ashingdon/Hockley/Rochford area are just not sustainable. The Hockley bottleneck, the overstretched B1013, Ashingdon Road and Lower Road are going to be even more jammed, added to the predicted extra traffic from the extended airport and commercial park. It must be much more sensisble to site more housing in the West/North West of the district with access to the new A130 and the A127.
