Respondent: Mr David Lilley
I am writing to tell you of our disbelief and anger at you new spatial options plans that affect the area we reside in.
We live in Albert road in Rayleigh And currently at the end of our cul de sac there is a horse field, and behind our home is an open field ( farmland) , if I am reading your plan correctly it looks like you want to develop both of these green belt areas that currently make the road such a well sort after place to live, and I am assuming this would no doubt mean Albert Road would eventually become a thoroughfare and no longer a cul de sac.
This is unacceptable not only to the residents of Albert road but to the neighbourhood in general. Personally we are looking at our properties becoming less desirable therefore losing value, and more traffic. We will lose our green belt, places where we walk and take our dogs , not to mention public transport coming through the area.
We need these open green spaces, they have been a lifeline for many during these recent lockdowns and certainly helped people with mental health issues.
The people of Rayleigh are NOT screaming out for more more homes to be built, they are screaming out for its heritage to be upheld and looked after. Consider maybe the new businesses that want to open in our high street for example, keep the rates lower for these private businesses and not allow bigger chains to monopolise the area.
Albert road is a quiet safe well maintained street in Rayleigh and in my opinion Rochford council should be proud of it not want to plough through it and destroy it’s very core.
If we wanted housing estate after housing estate we could all move to Basildon, is that the final vision Rochford council are trying to achieve??
There will be MANY objections to this futuristic vision you seen to have.
And I for one will be at the forefront rallying the neighbourhood.
