Representation Summary:

South East Essex is at capacity. Let’s not make it look any more like East London than it already does,

Full text:

South East Essex has too many people and too many cars. It does not have the infrastructure to handle it’s current populace. Building 360 homes every year is going to exacerbate the the already significant issues. I have lived in Rochford for the last 30 years. So many new homes have already been built, and these have significantly changed the landscape. Enough is enough, more homes will mean eventually a call for a Southend Bypass, which will run through our beautiful countryside , which is a home for much wildlife. Your view of building houses goes back to a bygone era. If any houses are built, they should be carbon neutral, like the homes suggested by the Squires family at Doggetts farm. I don’t support them being built there, but I do suggest that if you are going to embark on any more house building you think about global warming and the impact your houses will have.
