Re Ref: CFS217 Land at Doggetts Chase
1. If it is proposed to use Stilwells as an access road the proposed development would inconvenience ourselves and other road users by generating increased traffic in the immediate vicinity and in Rochford Town Centre. For many years Stilwells/Doggetts Chase has been a welcome, safe, leisure area for walkers, cyclists, joggers, horse riders, fishermen etc. The increased use of the road would have an adverse effect on this asset to the community.
2. The proposed development would have a negative impact on amenity due to increased noise, disturbance and nuisance. Stilwells is currently a relatively quiet residential area during the day and particularly at night.


Re Ref: CFS261 Land east of Oxford Rd
1. The proposed development would have a negative impact on the views and surroundings that create a backdrop to the area in which we live. The area is currently valuable agricultural land with historic buildings and pleasant countryside views. Mixed woodland, hedges and a nature reserve provide an important habitat for wild flowers and wildlife. This could be prejudiced by the development.
2. The proposed development would inconvenience ourselves and other road users by generating excessive traffic in the immediate vicinity, in Rochford Town Centre and beyond. For many years Stilwells/Doggetts Chase has been a welcome, safe, leisure area for walkers, cyclists, joggers, horse riders, fishermen etc. The increased use of the road would have an adverse effect on this asset to the community.
3. The proposed development would have a negative impact on amenity due to possible overlooking of our property, loss of privacy, increased noise, disturbance and nuisance. Stilwells is currently a relatively quiet residential area during the day and particularly at night.

Clearly the above are comments as requested but could be considered as objections should the proposed developments be carried forward.
