Having read the Study I find that there are several references to maintaining the "rural" feel of the area, including Great Wakering, Little Wakering and Barling. I support this objective but it won't be achieved by building on the few remaining fields between Great Wakering (where I live) and Southend and Shoebury.

There are currently two large housing developments under way in Great Wakering and Little Wakering, and I know of at least one other that has received planning permission - all with no obvious sign of improvements to the local infrastructure. If there are any "brownfield" sites available then by all means consider them but I do not support more developments using up the green belt - if there are such developments I think they will just turn our area into even more of a suburb of Southend than it is now.
