I object to development of site CFS027.
Firstly it is inside the green belt which has been one of the most successful protection measures for achieving a good balance between the need for housing and for precious countryside and wildlife.
There is already development on the Hockley Road side and old prison site that overlooks and denudes the green space around Hockley woods.
Hockley Woods, the walkways and fields provide very important long views and open space enjoyment to help with peoples mental well fare.
Part of the generally calm atmosphere of the Rayleigh community are the views, access and closeness of open fields and wooded areas, further urbanising will lead to diminished collective harmony.
Continually encroaching onto the woods will create the impression they are no longer viewed as important and lead to more antisocial use of them than there is already.
The roads cannot support more traffic as it is, so this will inevitably lead to further erosion of green space and country side to accommodate the increased population.
More development leads to more air pollution from traffic and poorer air quality. The traffic fumes are noticeably worse than 1o years ago on many roads through Rayleigh.
The current level of amenities, especially doctors and dentists cannot support increased population without further detrimental effect to the existing population.
