Respondent: Mr Roger Mason
I wish to lodge my objections to your idea of allowing building development on the plot no. CFS190 in Hullbridge.
I have lived in Keswick Avenue over 15 years and back onto the fields between Keswick Ave and Pooles lane. I consider this area needs protecting as we have an abundance of wildlife in this area. We see foxes and badgers on a daily basis, and the badgers have a set within these fields. We see bats flying around of an evening and as both the bats and the badgers are protected animals this development should not be permitted. There are several Oak trees in these field which I know are protected.
Access to this site is extremely limited, as you know Pooles lane is single file at some points and Keswick Avenue only has access to the field at the end of the avenue and is also very tight which is why the farmer does not enter the fields for harvesting via Keswick Avenue.
There is a ditch that runs at the bottom of our garden which has flooded on several occasions, there is also a major Gas main running through these fields.
Burnham Road is an un-adopted road at the top, therefore only has a single track so is not suitable for extra traffic or construction lorries as route into Keswick from Lower road, therefore I consider that this whole area is not practical or suitable for development.
