Respondent: David Henry Openshaw

Representation Summary:

there are not enough school places, doctors surgeries, hospital capacity in Rayleigh now, so adding 329 houses and probably over 500 cars to this situation will make things much worse.

REF CFS027, 098, 086, 029 and 053

This is a letter of objection to the proposed development/building of 329 houses in Wellington Road, Napier Road, Bull Lane, Farm Road, Rayleigh.

The primary objection is lack of infrastructure and public services which would be needed for such a significant development. The areas are already poorly served with roads which are constantly congested and overloaded.

In addition there are not enough school places, doctors surgeries, hospital capacity in Rayleigh now, so adding 329 houses and probably over 500 cars to this situation will make things much worse.

Also the loss of green space and land for country walks is very detrimental to the mental health of all residents.
