would like to comment on your consultation as follows.

A Who in their right mind would ask for comments to such an important matter at the height of the holiday period. Councillors or Officers?
Do the Agents/Developers have any knowledge of the sites in-question as “Suitability Assessments” seem to bear little or no resemblance as to what is actually in place?

B My comments are based mainly on the possible sites within Sutton Parish

C CFS 155 Open spaces you say good - not if house are build - Public service you say good = half hourly bus service along Fossetts Way 09.30 - 14.30 week days only not weekends -healthcare facilities you say good - try & get a Doctors appointment within 4 weeks A & E overstretched now

D CFS 165 - all the above apply

E CFS 123 - all the above apply

F CFS 076 -all the above apply note thatPublic Transport Service are classed as MEDIUM why doesi this not apply to the proposed site CFS 123 which show GOOD when it is next door.

G CFS 155 Surely this site already has planning permission for SUFC for training pitches & match day car parking. would it be the intention that should the proposed stadium not go ahead planning permission would be requested for houses

The Parish of Sutton does not have a good Public Transport Service - East - West along Shopland Road to Purdys Estate there is no Public Service. North - South along Sutton Road service 60 every 1hr 30min 6 days a week. The service 61 along the southern boundary Fossetts Way 30 min service from 09.22 to 15.01 weekdays only.
Shopland Road is a 2 lane country road with no public footpaths - street lighting paid for & maintained by Sutton PC very sparse
Sutton Road is a 2 lane county road with public footpath to one side again street lighting paid for & maintained by Sutton PC very sparse.
The road network with Sutton will not take much more traffic before it grinds to a halt, which it does on a regular basis if there are any problems on each of these roads or within Southend BC area or further into Rochford.
One has to consider developments planned to the south of Sutton PC ie Fossetts way development eastern end, the SUFC developments including the proposed flats on the corner of Sutton Road & Fossetts Way, these could add approx 1,000 vehicles on a normal working day plus the unknown number on a match day.
All the proposed sites are on Greenfield or Green Belt land used for Agricultural purposes, which we must strive to maintain for future foods production & generations

I appreciate the need for more dwellings but feel that RDC should investigate all BROWNFIELD sites before involving GREENBELT/GREEN FIELD sites, also an in-depth investigation to the road network before development takes place not leave it until the sites are approved & in process of being built. This also applies to Schools, Doctors, Hospital, Public Transport.
All sites that have been given permission prior to this consultation should be made to start/complete, as I am sure that there are 1 or 2 where the developers are sitting on land banks to improve profitability

I hope that this is of some help
