I have just looked into the above document. Firstly I would like to start by saying that the vision statement for Hullbridge should’ve been put together by Hullbridge, as this in no way reflects the Hullbridge community and what there vision for Hullbridge is!
I do not feel that Hullbridge is a candidate for Yet even more housing development. Hullbridge is already trying to deal with the impact of approx 500 new homes which has had an impact on traffic in and out of the area and affecting local amenities.
I am also concerned that the proposed areas within Hullbridge listed are on Green belt land which is going to hugely impact natural habitat and wildlife whilst posing a flood risk to an area which is already a flood plane. Since moving into the area a year ago the impact of the ongoing new builds has already had ongoing effects with travelling in and out of the area whilst causing the water pressure to be low. I do not feel that having even more development to this area would be beneficial for anyone and feel that there are alternative areas which would be better suited and not have such a negative impact to neighbouring areas.
