Representation Summary:

[re Hockley]

Greensward Academy and Hockley Primary School are both full and adding a further housing estate based on say, 2 children per household would mean that schooling would not be available for these children.
Despite my complete opposition to this development on the basis of lack of infrastructure and resources such as primary clinics, shops, and over-crowding of roads to Rayleigh and Rochford my most vehement concern is that of a lack of schooling for the incumbent population.
Where are these children going to be educated??. Do you have plans for a new school in the vicinity?? Both infant, primary, secondary and sixth form college.

Consultation on the New Local Plan by Rochford District Council, Site CFS064
Land bounded by Folly Chase, Betts Farm Estate, Hockley Community Centre, the railway line and Hockley Primary School.
Please accept this as my comment on the proposed development above.
It is completely unreasonable to suggest any further development in the above area. There were already concerns at the last development at the time and to add any further properties would be totally unadvisable.

I totally oppose the development of this land. As a long term resident and local teacher I totally refute any development at the above land.
