Objection to Local Plan
Despite the awful system that has been put in place by RDC to allow residents to comment on various aspect of the spatial Options or new local plan I have managed to make some comments.

However it should be noted that the system is not user friendly, issuing a separate email to each and every question, I feel the system has been deliberately made arduous for the general public to use and this is completely unfair to residents.

I ardently object to any new local plans being drawn up until there is a full and current infrastructure study completed on the whole of Essex and that should be updated yearly to properly inform and advise residents and the council alike of the impact of any housing.

Any new housing in Hullbridge will severely impact the current infrastructure as the current building of 500 very shoddy houses (not yet at completion) has already done so. The roads are not fit for purpose, schools are underfunded and the local services such as doctors so stretched it is impossible to get appts, just to name a few issues.

I urge the council to push back to the government that Essex is already part of an Urban Sprawl with a severe reduction in greenbelt and it needs to stop now!
