CFS045 Planning Application for 152 new houses
To Whom it may concern

With reference to the above planning application number, I am voting against this application for the reasons below:

Belchamps has been earmarked for a potential 152 houses, this area is behind already existing housing. The roads feeding into this area are very narrow and already congested.

We have no infrastructure in place to accommodate this number of new houses. We already have over subscribed schools and over subscribed Doctors & Dentists.

New housing developments have been recently built without any thoughts of this important infrastructure so to build more seems absolutely ludicrous.

We also have no support for our young adolescents in the Hockley/Hawkwell/Rayleigh & Rochford area and I see no provision.

The volume of traffic would increase considerably - it is already horrendous - and now most houses have at least 2 cars per house, so that's and increase of 304 extra cars. This is not very 'green' friendly. The devastation on the wildlife within this area is absolutely catastrophic along with the removal of trees - this will lead to flooding and bad air quality.

I would like to be kept updated on the progression of this planning application.
