As a resident of Great Stambridge, I am deeply concerned, disheartened and upset at the proposal of building 550 houses in and around Great Stambridge.
The impact on the residents of Great Stambridge and all the surrounding population would be devastating. The traffic would double on a road that is not built for the traffic that travels on it now, the increase in population would put a strain on the already struggling infrastructure, doctors, schools etc and people’s mental health would be affected by the restrictions in the beautiful green space that we have - a reason my family purchased our house in this area. At present there are no ways to monitor speeds on the roads and people already speed through the village dangerously - this would increase the risks of serious accidents and collisions on the road. I also note that no plan has been made for extra schools or facilities such a leisure’s centres in the area despite the huge increase in population the development would bring - again disheartening.
The objection where the natural environment is concerned should be obvious, the proposed developments would DESTROY local meadows, marshland and therefore habitats of the beautiful birds wildlife that live in this area. I question why this has not been thought of that given the drive for the protection of animals going extinct worldwide??
The village is also built almost entirely on a flood plain and the proposed developments would present numerous issues, you only need to visit in high tide to see this....
As the mother of a young baby I hoped to provide a safe and tranquil environment for them to grow up in but would consider if this was possible given these proposals......
