With regards to the outline possible planning proposal reference CFS059.

I wish to lodge an objection against this proposal as I live at XX Eastwood Rise SS9 5BU and it would appear from the plans that the access to this site would be along Sandhill Road.

This would result in additional traffic entering Eastwood Rise from Sandhill road and in reverse additional traffic turning into Sandhill road from Eastwood Rise. Living on the corner of this junction, I on a day by day basis see near misses between cars coming from both roads and this will increase the possible number of near misses.

We reverse off our drive to re-enter Eastwood Rise , and due to the road layout we are unable to see vehicles coming out of Sandhill road and the increased traffic flow will add to this problem.

Also due to the regular parking of vehicles along Sandhill Road opposite to our house and front garden , the first 20/25mts of Sandhill Road from Eastwood Rise is basically a single track road and the increase in traffic flow will at least be inconvenient to us and Sandhill Road residents , at worse be dangerous.

At present the refuse collection vehicles reverse down Sandhill Road and where Sandhill reduces to single track size at its ends this would block the road for traffic to the extra houses that may be built

With this possible additional vehicle traffic , this will add to the already big problem for traffic trying to leave Eastwood Rise to turn into the Rayleigh Road

This additional traffic will also cause an increase in noise nuisance to us within our garden area, along with Sandhill road becoming a through road instead of a cul-de-sac bringing on the dangers to children as there are no pavements along Sandhill on either side. The lack of pavements continues into Eastwood Rise towards Rayleigh Road for over 50mts this already on a day by day basis is a problem/danger for pedestrians moving along Eastwood Rise.
