I am writing to voice my objection to ANY building of more houses in Rayleigh on Green Belt Land, and particularly those mention in the subject line.
This area and proposed land should be protected for the good of the people, the wildlife and the environment.
To build on this green belt land would contradict any ESG policies that the Council/local govt. have in place and would put further pressure on the public services, healthcare, schools and transport system that is already at breaking point in this area.
Blower close is already prone to flooding so much so that the Environment Agency has a flood ditch dug which runs right through the gardens of those properties backing the field which is one of the proposed sites.
These open spaces have been a godsend to many people during the pandemic and it is well known and documented that open green space can help with Mental health.
I wonder if the building / development of Brownfield sites is being as actively pursued?
Also, I wonder if the smaller and private development of houses/flats/dwellings that crop up where a developer would for example demolish one property and build several on the plot is being offset against the targets set?
I would appreciate some comment on all of the above.
