New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 37949

Received: 16/08/2021

Respondent: Mr Andy Hill

Representation Summary:

Hullbridge is currently a pleasant village with adequate local services, access to the coast is already unrestricted and adequate to maintain village status. I cannot see how the coast can be further opened up without turning the village into a larger, more commercial area which will damage the village status making it a less pleasant place to live for residents. Road access is currently inadequate, Lower Road and Watery Lane are both too narrow for the traffic volumes, increasing the width of these roads would be cost prohibitive for developers. A river crossing link to South Woodham would be good.
