[re Hockley]

There is no evidence of any support for the existing infrastructure - i.e. condition of roads (v. poor in places), access to GP/hospitals etc. More houses would make these worse.

I object to this field site (CFS064) being used for housing for the following core reasons:

1. It is green belt
2. It would have an impact on the local traffic - this is already an issue for those of us living in Hockley, particularly in the event of a hold up on the B1013, access to Betts Farm is seriously limited - on some occasions there is no access to Betts Farm.
- The roads are already under constant strain, this would add more.
- There is no evidence of any support for the existing infrastructure - i.e. condition of roads (v. poor in places), access to GP/hospitals etc. More houses would make these worse.
- Why to we have to constantly overdevelop areas? We don't want to live in an overpopulated area. There is plenty of land available in the UK, why can't a new town be built where the infrastructure can be put in place.

There is no consideration given for people who are law abiding and pay their dues - it just isn't fair.
