New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 38800

Received: 14/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Jeff Higgs

Representation Summary:

No, I feel the hierarchy need to be inverted.
In common with the majority of residents I believe Rayleigh and surrounding areas already have enormous new build projects underway. We should stop further housing sprawl especially on the outskirts of towns such as Rayleigh where upgrading the road system is impractical. The uncertainty of the situation is causing anxiety amongst my friends and neighbours who maybe directly impacted.
If vast additional new housing development is truly unavoidable in our vicinity it should be in areas less constrained than Rayleigh (which is already suffering overdevelopment)
