Objection to planning behind Nelson Road Rayleigh Essex
I am writing to inform you of my objections to the propose development of land between Wellington road and Bull lane in Rayleigh Essex.
There are many reasons why my family object to this proposed housing development on this land.
The first reason is because the development will have a negative effect on the character and appearance of Rayleigh which is currently a popular and thriving place to live because it has such beautiful green spaces and farmland.
The second reason for the objection to this development is due to traffic and parking pressures that it will cause in Rayleigh town. The main roads in Rayleigh are already regularly gridlocked . The building of the new houses behind Nelson Road in Rayleigh and between Wellington road and Bull Lane will only increase this problem and add increasing pressure on traffic generation and car parking within Rayleigh.
The infrastructure of Rayleigh is already overstretched and unable to cope with the increasing population of the town. Further developments such as the above will only increase the problems.
Thirdly, I object because of the destruction the development will cause to the wildlife that can be found in these areas. The land between Wellington road and Bull lane in Rayleigh Essex provide the habitats for a number of protected species in the UK including dormice, bats, owls , badgers and slow worms.
I hope that you listen to the huge majority of Rayleigh residents and do not build on this land.
