New Local Plan.CFS160, CFS161, CFS074, CFS194, CFS169, CFS150 & CFS020

I moved to Hockley 9 years ago. My reasons for moving here was: 1. To be nearer family and 2. It was a nice village surrounded by countryside with many walks, wildlife and open spaces.
Since then numerous houses have been built with no infrastructure put in place, increasing traffic dramatically and putting extra strain on local services. There are always traffic queues in and out of Hockley.
The bottom of Gladstone Road (where I live) has become a rat run.
Traffic turning in and from Station Road. This will get worse with contractors lorries etc.
If the proposed building of more houses at various sites in and around Hockley and Hawkwell goes ahead, it will add to the already overcrowded roads around the village. This will also increase noise nuisance and air pollution.

Therefore I am against the proposed plan.
