I object to this field site being used for housing owing to the following reasons:
The B1013 is already heavily congested and above capacity. Further housing would put unnecessary strain on this.
There are multiple other sites in the Rochford District which have better access options and could be used for infill. For example, there is a large green pocket of land on the Rayleigh / Eastwood border with multiple access points, including to the A127 and the Eastwood Road. Surely a location like this with existing infrastructure would be the sensible option to develop first.

The site at Betts Farm is surrounded by 3 ancient woodlands and is teaming with wildlife. On the Betts Farm estate we see bats, foxes, and badgers which the field and woodlands support. Further development would negatively impact this.
