Respondent: Jo Muslin

Representation Summary:

Objections to housing proposals - Rochford and Hawkwell District.
We strongly object to the proposals for new housing in the Rochford district.

There firstly will be NO consideration too the local road infrastructure. The recommendations are solely relying on increasing an already over stretched Ashingdon Road.

If the proposed increase in housing is too go ahead, each house will potentially have 2-3 vehicles, which will not only over crowd the already congested roads, ie Ashingdon Road, BUT will immensely increase the local carbon footprint, disrupt and kill the air quality, which will affect wildlife, and open spaces.

It would seem that land owners feel that by selling their land too developers is more important too society than helping the District with improving air quality, the local wildlife, and create open spaces

AND I PRESUME THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE DOCTORS SURGERIES, pharmacists etc too compensate these proposals, just like the huge development down Hall Road, Rochford..

I hope that the Council seriously re consider their idea of these proposals too help Rochford stay as the small country village we have lived in for so many years.
