Object to the developments at CFS064, CFS94045, CFS160, CFS161,CFS074, CFS194, CFS169, CFS150, CFS020 & CFS261 Hockley and Hawkwell cannot currently cope with the number of people and cars that are on the road. There is only one road into and out of Hockley and the roads are already gridlocked at school time and rush hour, let alone the state of the roads. The schools and Doctors surgery's are already over subscribed too and you cannot get a doctors appointment for generally over 2 weeks.
In relation to CFS064 the proposed development is near to ancient Betts Woods and Bluebell Woods. Two areas with a high wildlife population that would undoubtedly be disrupted by any development. They would also be detrimental impact on the environment with pollution from  the many additional cars, as most households have at least 2 cars now. We would be looking at probably 400 more cars on the road and 400 - 600 addition to the population. This is not acceptable with the current infrastructure.
