Respondent: Mr Brett Telford
Having looked at the proposals I am surprised Wakering is being considered for any further development.
We have increased by over 10% in dwelling numbers over a short period.
We have had limited visible investment in any infrastructure and from what I am aware a large chunk of s106 money did not get spent in Wakering.
The school does not have capacity by the people we know not getting places, the roads have seen lots more vehicles which are not served well by the limited road network we have, excessive antisocial parking, we have a small number of shops. Most of the footpaths and roads still need a lot of work. There is nothing for certain age groups socially in this area.
This is a village and by its nature should be avoided from further overdevelopment let alone the reasons noted about.
There are also areas of Wakering that have flooding risk from surface water and it has been seen that there are impacts to local roads from new developments. A vast amount of investment would be needed before more development could take place
