New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

As a resident of Great Wakering I would ask that when decisions are being made that thought should be given not only to the lack of infrastructure in this area (doctors and schools, buses) but also to congestion getting out of this area. At present it is congested enough trying to get anywhere - Southend and Rochford cause huge bottle necks of traffic - to add further housing east of Southend would make this current problem even worse.
Great Wakering was, and I would like to think, would remain, semi rural. Already many new houses built - hopefully this is enough.
I wish to give comments to the recent local plan for new housing.
