New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 43538

Received: 25/08/2021

Respondent: Mr & Mrs Gaunt

Number of people: 2

Representation Summary:

We have concerns to the promoted development of Hullbridge in regards to the number of new housing over the next twenty years, bearing in mind the developments that are already in progress or will be in the near future. We therefore, feel that these promoted sites are far too extensive for what is a small community village, thus losing its identity, it will completely destroy its original character.

There has been no mention of any improvements to the immediate and local area in regards to the road system, because at present it is plain to see that it is nearing its full vehicle capacity.

Any large scale developments will increase pollution issues and again there is no mention for increased services i.e., schools, doctors, leisure and recreation.

it has also been noted that predicted rising sea levels will cause the flooding and destruction of a large part of the promoted sites.

A proposed joined up plan showing the overall benefit to the people of Hullbridge would possibly be more acceptable.

This needs much more thought other than a large increase in housing alone.

Please give this matter your thoughtful and urgent attention for the people of Hullbridge.
