New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 41332

Received: 20/08/2021

Respondent: Mr Peter Wyatt

Representation Summary:

I am a re4sident of Rochford, specifically Rectory Rd, SS4 1UE. I have concerns about the following proposals, primarily due to the lack of infrastructure required to accommodate the increase in traffic. There will also need to be considerable building in terms of schools and other necessities, although these things are often neglected when it comes to building new estates.

I believe the emergency services have already expressed grave concerns regarding the traffic on the Ashingdon Rd during rush hour and the school run. This will become impassable if the following proposals are agreed:

CFS261 (4447 houses! How can you even consider such a thing?)
CFS074
CFS194
CFS169
CFS150
CFS020

None of the above should be considered without a serious, independent assessment of the impact on the roads, particularly Ashingdon Rd. Infrastructure first, please!
