Strong Objection to Proposed Building in Hockley (CFS023 & COL38)
We strongly oppose the proposed building works in the vicinity of Malvern Road, Hockley (namely CFS023 & COL38).
Having lived in Malvern Road for nearly 25 years (no. xx), we feel that the local roads could not support the increased level of traffic, should these houses be built. The local GP surgeries are at full capacity, the local schools are too. Where will these people go if they need a dentist, for instance?
The local area is greenbelt and the wildlife will be devastated.
On a personal note, we don't want trees getting ripped down at the bottom of the garden, to make way for an access road. This will destroy many habitats for the local wildlife and will cause a serious intrusion to many householders' privacy and will undoubtedly be a security risk to us Malvern Road house owners.
Additionally, with the proposed building works in Ashingdon, our Ashingdon Road (heading into Southend or Hockley), will become even more congested and exhaust omissions will poison the local air, badly effecting people with breathing issues.
Please, do not build in these areas as it will effectively be the "death knell of the local countryside."
