To whom it may concern,
I am writing to air my objection to the following planning permission references
CFS045, CFS064,CFS160, CFS161, CFS194, CFS169, CFS150, CFS020, Belchamps and Mount Bovis Lane (Fields)
Firstly, the impact upon the local community from a wellbeing point of view as well as environmental factors such as pollution from the increased traffic and noise would be extremely stressful for all residence.
People live here because of the surroundings which Hockley and Hawkwell, as a small village are renowned for. We appear to be trying to change the identity of our rural villages into small towns, for which they are not designed. I.e. the local infrastructure such as school's, doctors, dentists and nurseries as well as the road network in this area are not adequate for a major development.
Since the latest developments around the Rochford District Council area have been completed, the increased traffic already present is threatening to overwhelm the roads.
If you surveyed the main road through Hawkwell and Hockley between 08:30am & 3-6pm you would see it is struggling. All roads to the schools and train station queue every week day.
Finally, these areas around Mont Bovis and Belchamps are used for recreation for the locals and many of us love to walk the fields and woods. This must also have a major impact on the wildlife. Within the fields and wood here you have, deer, badgers, bats and vast range of birds from robins to Sparrow Hawks and Woodpeckers.
I really don’t believe Hawkwell and Hockley need a 1000 house’s in such a tight community space.
The only people to benefit from this are the investors and property developers.
