New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Respondent: Mr T Grew

Representation Summary:

I can’t write fancy words all I can do is write what I feel. At this moment I feel sick that the beautiful place where I chose to live will be devastated beyond recognition.

I object to all the proposals in and around Hockley and Hawkwell, primarily because of the impact on wildlife due to loss of habitats. In this day and age where we have finally woken up to its importance to us, RDC are going to plough on regardless with these proposals without any plans to accommodate the flora and fauna. Have you plans in place to help wildlife ? They are probably way down your list. RDC have always promoted themselves as A Green Council . Are you still ? What are you going to tell your grandchildren ? YOU were the ones that destroyed their countryside ?

Loss of productive farmland will come back to bite us in the future . We need to keep produce as local as possible.

The roads are impossible now . That amount of houses over the whole district with at least two cars each is going to make our lives even more of a misery. Also the associated pollution. Our daughter lives in Rochford and her windows are continually covered in black dust already. Lord knows what our grandchildren are breathing in at home and at even at school.

The new Saxon Airport commercial site will also add increased traffic to the new house traffic when it is completed .

What about more doctors and schools ? Are they included ?

Will we lose our public footpaths and bridleways ? . Again people have realised how important it is to get out into green spaces for their mental health. Will there be any left ?

I am too upset to continue but I think you get the gist of my concerns.

I beg you all to do what is right for each and everyone us.
