New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 41314

Received: 21/09/2021

Respondent: Kelly Allison

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to the field site CFS064 being used for housing.

This field is green belt and farmed regularly. It is surrounded by 3 ancient woodlands and is an important wildlife habitat - these would be severely impacted by a housing development.

The field is surrounded by a local public footpath that is well used and loved by locals. My family and I take regular walks/bike rides here as it’s such a beautiful spot, and we feel lucky to have this right on our doorstep.

Our schools (especially the closest school to this site) doctors surgery’s and dentists are already over subscribed.

The roads feeding to this site are already severely congested, particularly the B1013.

Any developments in the area will put the B1013 under considerable additional strain, especially as most sites are not walkable to local amenities.

The infrastructure of Hockley can not cope with its existing resident numbers, it will not be able to cope with any more housing developments.
