Respondent: Mr Lee Wheeler
A lot of the proposed sites require protecting from development. This area is a rural village location, if we replace our green belt areas with housing developments then the whole feel and heritage of the area changes. A few of the locations also have agricultural uses which are key to protect, we cannot simply replace all our agricultural sites with housing and expect healthy development of the area. The changes risk a complete overhaul of the feel of the area and threaten the existence of Great Wakering village.
