Proposed Housing Development behind Nelson Road/Albert Road
I have viewed the consultation document and am appalled that yet another green field site is going to be lost and another 300+ homes built. Despite all the council’s positive comment’s on infrastructure and affordable housing the reality is Rayleigh has now reached saturation point. Schools, Surgeries , Dentists, Childcare facilities, social/council services are at breaking point directly as a result of the huge housing expansion experienced over recent years without due consideration to its residents.
The roads in and around around Rayleigh are unable to cope with the volume of traffic, again directly due to the housing expansion. Most times of the day there are traffic jams throughout the area but the council keeps proposing yet more housing ! I am totally against this particular proposal and in particular yet more large scale developments in the area. There has to be a limit to what this area can absorb and I firmly believe Rayleigh has already reached that stage. I see very little improvement in what is becoming a “scruffy” town which it is becoming a far less appealing town to live for all the reasons above. I don’t believe Rochford Council listens to its residents and will go ahead with the proposals anyway !
