Section: General Overview

I am strongly against what I believe to be an over development of this area. We are already facing total gridlock in many areas at peak times. Not enough is being done to tackle current issues of over population without adding hundreds/thousands of new homes.

I live in Hullbridge because I want to live in a village not a town. The village has very little infrastructure as it has no secondary school, no train station, only 1 bus service. Our dentist cannot even get NHS registration and our doctors surgery is often booked solid. There is only 1 road out of the village and the impact of large new housing developments has not been considered at all in my opinion.

These areas are home to much wildlife and the green spaces should be protected wherever possible and more Brownfield sites used instead. The current plan does not offer enough recreational parks and protection of nature and the environment.

I am very concerned that when my boys are ready to move on to secondary school there will be a shortage of places and all the local schools will be over subscribed.
