I do not agree. The area on which you have proposed to build is not suitable. Not only is it home to many wildlife, whose homes would be disturbed and quite possibly destroyed by the construction but it is surrounded by a flood plain and marshlands. Every winter the farmers have to double dig the ditches surrounding all of Cagefield Road in order to mitigate flooding. The ground is not suitable for construction nor housing. Not only that but adding more houses would put a considerable strain on the schools and Rochford's amenities (such as Doctors and Dentists) that are already well over capacity. In Stambridge there are no buses, no doctors surgery, no dentist, no youth services, no shops and so it is not a place suitable for the average family. Growing up in Stambridge was no easy task. I did not have access to a lot of the average things a child or student needs. We had a 2Mb internet connection (up until a few of years ago) because the phone lines are so old they couldn't carry the data for a decent internet speed. Cagefield road still uses copper wire phone lines and BT cannot upgrade them. There was no running bus service for me to get to school, my mother had to fight for one to be supplied. In harsh winters we have been snowed in unable to get to the shops for basic necessities. Delivery services seldom come out this far. Despite it being quite an isolated village, it is home to people who have lived here all their lives. It is a tight knit community of young and old. The addition of over 500 homes would very much tarnish the history of Great Stambridge and the mental health and livelihood of the people who have lived here for generations.
