New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 39908

Received: 31/07/2021

Respondent: Mr Jason Payne

Representation Summary:

I am writing to object to the recently released housing planning document under the new area plan.

The sheer volume of housing proposed risk damaging the look and feel of our community and the village feel we all love.

Additionally I object based on the lack of infrastructure investment on both the new area plan and the handling of the queen Elizabeth development. The lack of embarrassment clauses and section 106 orders was negligent.

I also object as an area of the greatest of concern; being the level of pollution and congestion that the new developments will exacerbate. The council is already aware of the main road Hockley being above EU legal limits and main roads in the area being some of the most congested in the country. What is the legal position should the general public challenge these developments on the grounds of already high levels of pollution?
