New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 42137

Received: 04/09/2021

Respondent: Linda Dobinson

Number of people: 3

Representation Summary:

Living in Hullbridge for many years, we have seen the green belt disappearing with alarming regularity.
Houses have and are still being built on what we know is a flood plain. Watery lane flooding, even with preventative measures in place.
The bus service often doesn’t run into Ferry Road owing to obstacles due to building and road works. We have been kept prisoner in Hullbridge, on many occasions for this reason.
The infrastructure we have would offer nothing to families in new builds, as the doctors surgery is full, the one primary school is full and all secondary school pupils have to get busses, the 820 to Sweyne school has just been cancelled, causing the parents and pupils much distress. How will they get to school.
There isn’t anywhere for the children to have fun. Pooled lanes has limited apparatus, which is mainly for small children.
This lack of amenities causes the children to get up to mischief with occasional damage to property.
The major problem is that a significant part of Hullbridge will be below sea level by 2040.
Madness to build here.
The better option is No 3 West of Rayleigh, North of Southend and East of Rochford.
