New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 40854

Received: 22/09/2021

Respondent: Jacqueline Hawker

Representation Summary:

I would like to object to the plan to build houses on the farmland close to Hockley Community Centre.

This particular field has footpaths around it and is extremely popular with walkers, dog walkers, families walking to and from school, or just enjoying a walk in the countryside.

Hockley has already been subject to huge new builds that the country roads cannot cope with. Hockley is a village, it is not a suburb of London, we need to protect the meager countryside we have left.

I know that Boris wants to "build, build, build" partly due to huge donations from building companies of money, money money, but even in the Tory stronghold of Rochford, councillors and MPs should not take their votes for granted.

This particular plan is ill-conceived and the damage to our environment and quality of life cannot be overestimated. I have seen many Swifts, Song Thrush, Dragon Flies, Foxes, and even deer on this field, plus multiple varieties of butterflies, birds, and other wildlife. Please do not allow this awful development to go ahead.
