New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 38876

Received: 15/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Howard Rankin

Representation Summary:

I strongly feel that further new housing building in Rayleigh will totally cripple the creaking traffic system. In particular The High Road near Great Wheatley is under enormous traffic flow pressure and is frequently (and at many varying times of day ) at a standstill in both directions. There are further traffic congestion issues approaching the town from London Road, Hockey and Eastwood. Our schools, doctors and dentistry cannot cope with further population.
I also STRONGLY OBJECT to ANY development on green belt land. This is a precious natural asset to the town and existing residents and must be preserved.
