New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 38258

Received: 29/08/2021

Respondent: Mrs Keeley Pullen

Representation Summary:

Currently the areas surrounding Hullbridge for example are severely impacted by increased growth to the area. Traffic congestion is becoming a daily problem. This is made worse when there is heavy rain. Flooding is already occurring when it rains for more than a day. This causes further traffic congestion. More development in and around the areas will make this worse. By building more houses etc the impact on flooding will be worsened. There is no point more building living in an area when they can’t actually commute to their places or work due to flooding and traffic congestion
