Re: Planning Proposal (CFS054, CFS048, CFS044)

We are extremely concerned to learn of where the proposed designated area's of development could be in our immediate area. We have lived in South View Close for 35 years, over the passed 2 years the increase in traffic on the Eastwood Road and all surrounding area's of Rayleigh has dramatically increased causing severe congestion. Rayleigh was originally a village, the narrow roads in and out of this area are not built for this high volume of traffic, the schools and doctors in the vicinity are already at full capacity.

Greenbelt land as so called should remain to be protected so that we have open spaces, tree's that produce oxygen and greenery for wildlife, it is healthy for the environment cutting down on pollution and poisonous gases in the atmosphere.

Our grandchildren love our back garden overlooking fields and recognising different species of wildlife, we do not want to raise our children in a concrete jungle.

The area the council has designated for building has always been susceptible to flooding, please do not build more houses creating even more congestion, flooding and irreparable damage to the environment.
