We are writing to voice our opposition to the proposed building of 329 houses on the green belt land Napier Road/Wellington Road/Bull Lane Rayleigh.
We moved to Rayleigh just over a year ago (Nelson Road) and love all the green space for walking - we regularly walk Napier Road to Bull Lane and up to Hockley Woods and are horrified at the thought of this disappearing. This would also have a massive impact on the traffic in this area which is already busy on the Hockley Road at the best of times. Doctors surgeries too - trying to get an appointment now is near on impossible so adding a further 329 homes which could mean up to another 1200 people is ridiculous.
Green belt land was called that for a reason so why can it now be considered for housing? Green belt land is also there to help with our air quality.
Looking forward to a positive response.
