New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 37604

Received: 02/08/2021

Respondent: Our Lady of Ransom Church, Rayleigh

Representation Summary:

Present infrastructure cannot support existing housing .

An increase in housing to a greater degree would be to the detriment of all those living in Hullbridge, taking into account the increased commuter traffic from Hockley, Rochford and Rayleigh . Any further housing should be affordable and for the elderly.

Lubbards Farm area could be expanded for further employment possibilities.

I am not representing Our Lady of Ransom Church . I don’t know why this is being shown.
Mrs Lorna Warren, Hullbridge resident.

I cannot see how Hullbridge can support any further major housing with its present infrastructure. The only increase to housing in my opinion should be affordable housing ( this hasn’t happened with present new development ) and housing for the older population to free up existing houses in the village for families.
Roads developed decades ago cannot cope with existing population and commuting traffic travelling from Rochford / Chelmsford /Southend directions.
The only area which provides employment at present is Lubbards Farm. Could this be extended ?
