Representation Summary:

I am totally against any of the proposed plots being agreed for future building within great wakering and would strongly suggest looking at building a purpose built town towards Rayleigh which has the space and capacity to support new homes and custom infrastructure

My thoughts and definite objections particularly to plot cfs057 plus all others affecting great wakering

The lack of infrastructure,is by far the biggest issue, doctors unable to cope, school over overflowing, no areas for children to play .

In addition only 2 roads in and out if this area so in event if an emergency evacuation of the village,this would cause severe issues and probable deaths .

flooding, both surface and tidal issues, I can’t even pave my driveway without special permission yet you want to cover acres in buildings patios and access roads

the environment bill, with climate change will only get worse the drains can’t cope as it is .

People live in a village community because of the way of life. So health and well-being will be detrimentally affected. We chose to buy in a village not a town .

The Impact on the environment will be highly detrimental to the biodiversity and wildlife. Without bees we will not survive !!!

The increase in traffic will increase accidents. This area is a peninsula-people have to travel to work. No nearby station or public transport to facilitate this.

For these reasons I am totally against any of the proposed plots being agreed for future building within great wakering and would strongly suggest looking at building a purpose built town towards Rayleigh which has the space and capacity to support new homes and custom infrastructure
