Please find my objections below to a No of local plans that are being proposed for Hawkwell Essex.

CFSO45 HAWKWELL

This plan involves 152 houses built on the Belchamps scout site.
This site has been for young people since before the second world war and is a benefit for Children from all over the UK and also some from Europe.

Access for new residents and cars would be difficult with the current road structure as the local roads could not cope with an increase of regular traffic, there is no direct route to this site except for a “private” road called Mount Bovers Lane.
Public access at the moment is via Poplars Avenue and Woodside Chase which is used by residents to access their homes and park their cars.
There is also access to this site via Hawkwell Chase which is also very residential.
Any feed from this site onto the B1013 would cause huge delays as current “rush hour” traffic on the B1013 is already at a standstill (pre covid).

CFS261 HAWKWELL

The agricultural land opposite Rawal Pindi Nursery is an asset to Hawkwell as farm land is disappearing in Essex it would be a terrible shame to lose this land to concrete.
Before the second world war this field was part of protected Hockley woods, this field had trees that were harvested to supply timber for the war effort.
This make this site protected.

I object to all of the above in CFS045 & CFS261

Lack of public transport
It is green belt with productive farmland.
An increase of traffic movements on already congested roads.
The displacement of wildlife.
Education facilities cannot cope with extra potential Children.
Local Medical Facilities are over subscribed (Local new builds promise new facilities but they are cancelled after appeals!).
