New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 42662

Received: 08/09/2021

Respondent: Lucy Beaumont-Conn

Representation Summary:

I am writing to complain about the proposed building of houses at the back of King Edmund School in the Ashingdon/Rochford area. It is already incredibly built up and their are already far too many vehicles on the road resulting in major traffic every day.

Not only are there not enough doctors, dentists and schools to accommodate the amount of people in the area but there is only one road in and out of Rochford - Ashingdon Road. It already worries me considerably that should my child be ill or have an accident at school it would take me far too long to reach the school (which is a local school just up the road from where I live), we cannot allow more residents and vehicles in the area.

The air pollution will be even worse from all the additional vehicles on the road where children are walking every day to school. The wildlife will suffer as there will be less green spaces.

With regard to the proposals in Hawkwell the traffic will be coming from Rectory Road onto Ashingdon Road this is in my view incredibly irresponsible.

I sincerely hope the planned works do not go ahead.
