Representation Summary:

I strongly object to further development in CFS146 and CFS147 because of the additional pollution that will be generated that will affect our well being and our health, both physical and mental.

CFS146 and CFS147, no account has been give to the pollution that will be generated by using these two sites. The west of Rayleigh is already heavily polluted being surrounded by busy roads, the London Road, A1245, A130, A127 and Rayleigh High Street. There are already two developments with over 500 new homes off the London Road and the new warehousing near the A127 that are going to bring hundreds of extra vehicle movements. You only have to look at the black sooty dust that lands on my windows and ledges outside and on the inside ledges, shutters and throughout the house to realise the level of pollution we are already subjected to. The prevailing south west winds will carry all the new pollution from these two areas over us and affect our well being and our health, both physical and mental. And it's no good thinking that electric vehicles will eventually reduce pollution because there are dangerous pollutants from brake and tyre dust.
