New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 40118

Received: 04/08/2021

Respondent: Jacqueline Quinn

Representation Summary:

I have been informed about the prospect of future plans for a housing development in the fields at the end of Albert Road and behind Blower Close.

I am shocked that the council could even give this a single thought. I am a resident of Blower Close who went through the terrible floods of 2013. Attended the council meetings and it was stated on record that Blower Close should never have been built and now you are planning more!!!!

We have constant concerns when we have heavy rain now as our drains don’t seem to cope.

Also, TRAFFIC!!! You can’t get in and out of Rayleigh now. It’s just one constant traffic jam, the health implications, nearly impossible to get a doctors appointment.

There can be no reasonable argument to even contemplate building in this area.
