Further to the plans which have been submitted to build on the farmers field at the back of Folly Chase I would like to submit my reasons for why this would be an absolutely ridiculous idea.
Firstly we moved to Folly Lane 7 years ago and I am absolutely astounded by the amount of new builds which have gone up in the area within the last 7 years. The roads are absolutely ridiculous. Not only is the amount of traffic becoming unbearable but the noise and amount of cars passing through Folly Lane and surrounding areas is just becoming silly. The roads are just not equipped to deal with this amount of traffic and congestion. The amount of people living in Hockley is just too much. The current infrastructure cannot cope and I see there are no plans to adapt this!!.
Secondly myself and my family are so sad to hear that you are now thinking of granting permission to build on the section of land at the back of Folly Chase. This piece of land is used by so many local people to get out for some fresh air, dog walks, ride bikes and spend family time. It is so lovely to be able to have this on our doorstep. During COVID [redacted - personal details] who suffers terribly with Depression and Anxiety decided to take an overdose. Due to the absolutely shocking response and lack of support from the NHS and Mental Health team in Rochford the only option and help was to walk for miles around the surrounding areas including this route which we did on many occasions to help her on her worst days. How many other people are using this for their mental well being in the area? Have you thought about this? The elderly, the lonely, young and old.
Thirdly. Have you thought about the pressure it is putting on the local doctors surgeries, schools and hospitals with the amount of houses/flats etc that are being built in the area. The schools are already oversubscribed and the current waiting time for a dentist appointment in this area to see an NHS dentist is 6 months!! This will only get worse.
Please think of the people currently living in the area and also the families of Folly Chase. It is absolutely disgusting. The building needs to be stopped in this area!!
