AGAINST ANY FORM OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN GREENBELT/FARMERS FIELDS
I am writing to raise my concerns over the level of development which is currently being undertaken in areas of Essex Green Belt . Also planning proposals for thousands of housing in the near future on Greenbelt. At the moment the infrastructure to allow for the traffic to move freely has been compromised already. You cannot leave the house without getting stuck in traffic near Rayleigh Weir, bottle neck by Hadleigh, queuing at the Southend underpass and A127 by Priory Park. The housing estates which have recently gone up at Star Lane, Barrow Hall, Hullbridge, Rawreth have not taken into account the existing Schools or Doctors Surgeries. None of the developers have contributed into building new schools or clinics to allow for patients from the new housing estates to be serviced.
I fully understand the farmers cannot make ends meet if they find farming unprofitable. With Brexit and recent lockdown, there needs to be more UK farming so we can be self sufficient should the need arise that we cannot fulfil consumer needs in this country from the EU. Once you have built on all the farming land, we will be totally reliant on food supplies coming from abroad, which will cost more and will damage the environment.
The country roads in Barling Magna and Wakering do not even have curb sides so how would more traffic which will be generated by more housing cope? This would mean carving up more greenbelt for bigger roads and there will be no countryside left. Should the housing behind Daws Heath go ahead, how will Rayleigh Weir cope? It will be at a standstill. The offices which were once by Victoria Avenue have been developed into flats which is a very good idea, not using our precious greenbelt.
Even if you build on brownfil sites, where will all the extra traffic go? All these people moving down to the South East will have no Hospital to go to or doctors surgeries to register at as we are overloaded already.
Any intelligent person can see already the roads cannot cope and will get worse.
Also there was some talk of a Marina at Shoebury East Beach, Southend seafront is already at a standstill with traffic and I cannot see the traffic being diverted through Southend. Please do not make Rochford a City.
Please, please do not let our GREENBELT go to greedy developers who probably do not live in Essex and consider the future implications should these sites be built on.
