Objection to proposal Mill Hall COL7
I wish to lodge objections to the above proposal.
If demolished we could be affected by demolition emissions. We would also lose facilities we have enjoyed and appreciated at the Mill Hall. The two lane road access to the proposed flats could hamper our movements and presumably remove the tree lined island containing town memorabilia. Many of us use walking aids and no longer move quickly. The new road could also possibly remove our ambulance bay. An indirect problem would be gridlock at the Church Street junction. Already some of us have been delayed by heavy traffic when heading for medical appointments. Overall these proposals are being made on N arDC conservation area.
SECONDLY I object for historical reasons. Building the proposed flats could damage an historical asset, namely the 11th century outer Bailey of Rayleigh Mount and lie close to the 200 year old Grade Two listed windmill. I have further fears that the latter’s footings could be weakened by building flats so close to it. It’s perspective and tourist attraction would be damaged.
THIRDLY I also object to building proposals around Grade Two listed Barringtons. Again perspective would would damaged but a major problem could be traffic gridlock. Vehicles could find it difficult to negotiate the junction of Bull Lane with Webster’s Way.
FOURTHLY I object to all of the above because of greatly increased traffic pressures at the junction at Holy Trinity Church. These could impact on traffic elsewhere in Rayleigh
