Representation Summary:

I am horrified to learn that field CFS064 has been earmarked for development of 214 houses this is something our family totally Object too. I think this would be an absolute travesty, our family use this wonderful field and woodland everyday. I fail to understand how on earth you will fit a development of this size onto this plot of land it’s just sheer greed. Thou I feel this email is probably going to fall on deaf ears as this development is probably a done deal already, I cannot see how this will work our infrastructure here (we live on folly lane) is pushed already and rainfall produces water logged roads as the drainage system is constantly blocked, deeming our road a serious hazard and health risk. Our road struggles since the other development has been built and people use it a a cut through and race track into hullbridge, I have witnessed coaches having to go up the kerb in folly lane near young children to get down the road, I used to use the field to get to my daughter school because of this issue, which has fallen on the councils deaf ears, I cannot comprehend how another development will help with road safety, congestion and then there’s the pollution???? How will the schools cope? They seriously oversubscribed and standards of teaching have dropped considerably as classroom sizes are just to big? How will the development help this?. Doctor’s surgery’s, dentists are not giving a good standard of care either, how will this development help? , and then there’s the wildlife on our daily walks we have seen some beautiful animals and birds, butterflies, insects the list goes on it’s one of the reasons we walk round there my daughter loves to see them all in their natural habitat we must try to protect our wildlife not endanger it. Not to mention it’s one of the only safe areas in hockley for our children to walk, ride their bikes and walk their dogs. We have already lost a lot of open spaces in Hockley/Rayleigh when will you stop? I know most residents have voiced their concerns and hope that they have emailed to you as well.

I would like to hear how your plans for the development would help with any of these matters. I cannot see how this development would work at all it’s utterly ridiculous and heartbreaking for everyone who lives in this area.
