Respondent: Mr Colin Lowe
I wish to object strongly to the Councils local plan for any thought of any more development in Great Wakering. I have lived here for 50 years and have seen major housing new builds in the last few years.
Star lane = 180+78+20. Some completed others planning permitted West of Little Wakering Road = 120. In construction Alexandra Street = 25 planning permitted Red Lion =4 + 4 Apartments completed.
427 in total !
There has been no infrastructure to support this number all ready School already full Doctors overrun Traffic already causing problems ,possible 600 extra cars.
Existing extra people (not local)will increase village population by over 16% Council wants to build more houses ?
Rochford housing needs 7200 in next 20 years
4000 all ready identified (Hall Road, London road) Total 3200 Rochford population 3200➗87000 x 100 = 4.8% increase ,potential in 2040 Great Wakering population 427➗6000 x 100 =7.1% at present.
How can the Rochford Council Planning Dept. Even consider more development!
Many people have told me there’s no point in objections as the Rochford planners will agree to new builds, so what’s the point ,thinking they know what people who live here want, they don’t want a 100 houses in the High Street and Little Wakering Road with a rural view spoilt buy new builds.
Great Wakering is all ready over subscribed with new builds, no more please, we do not want to become Rochford’s dumping ground to make up the numbers.
