Respondent: Kay Chesterfield

Representation Summary:

nvironmentally it's a disaster, this is a hunting ground for bats and owls. The hedgerows and fields provide food and shelter for birds, bees and other wildlife which are all essential for our survival.

Already we see hedgehogs killed on the road by speeding vehicles without a care for wildlife or people's lives. Pollution is already at too high a level.

We are supposed to be trying to halt climate change by planting trees. You intend ripping them up and destroying rural vegetation which absorbs CO2 and H2O, so preventing flooding too.

I object to future planning for the reasons given below:

This is Wakering village not the London Borough of Wakering. Already there is too much development which the local shops, school, doctors cannot support and the volume of traffic is already excessive.

There will not be enough food in the future we are told, so stop building on farmland. Build on brownfield sites, make more use of existing buildings.

Where am I supposed to live when I value a rural life - I am being pushed out by housing the hordes of people who care not of others or their environment.
