The plan was difficult to access and view online. I have been unable to comment online.

Where is the infrastructure for all these proposed houses? ?
The current roads in particular the B1013 cannot cope with the current volume of traffic. Is there going to be provision for new GP surgeries, dentists, schools and supermarkets. Is there enough local employment?
Each new house, means at least one car but it’s more likely to be 2 nowadays. Leading to an increase in volume,noise and pollution in the area.

Eradication of the green belt and open spaces. Surely brownfield sites and empty buildings should be developed first before the countryside is lost for ever.

I object to the following developments

CFS040 and CFS264. Church road.
CFS064 folly chase
Building on green belt. Proposals will increase density and give further traffic problems on a busy country road which is used as a rat run . Church road is narrow. It is also used by cyclists and local equestrian riders to get to hockley woods. It will have knock on effects…ie Fountain Lane which is narrow and without pedestrian paths and the B1013.


CFS161 and CFS160
There is supposed to be a buffer zone of no development in order to protect ancient Hockley Woods. Loss of green belt and green corridors for wildlife.
More traffic on the B1013.

CFS261 I object. Loss of agricultural land. This will have huge knock on effects to Ashingdon Road and the surrounding areas eg Lower road or B1013 and the road leading to Southend airport.

CFS074. There is a bridleway on 2 sides of this proposed site which needs to be retained. Loss of agricultural land. We loose our land to grow crops locally. More traffic onto B1013.
CFS191 again bridleways need to be retained. More traffic onto B1013.
CFS045. The site has been a valuable well used resource and should be retained for future generations . It’s important that youngsters are encouraged to stay fit and healthy, saving our much valued NHS. More traffic onto B1013.
