New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 44244

Respondent: Mrs Jeanette Payne

Representation Summary:

CFS064
I believe infrastructure assessment first before land is presented to residents for planning. The new houses CFS064 will have a feeder road into Westminster Drive and then Buckingham Road. This is the only road off "Betts Farm Estate". Then onto the busiest "B" road (B1013) in the UK. This field produces crops and is on the green belt. There is also a public right of way around the field. This is a green corridor for deer, foxes and badgers and this development will displace this wild life. There is a well in this field! Also increasing air pollution. There is a brook which runs from CFS064 a long the side of the community centre under the road into Westminster Drive under the railway track to a culvert into the farmers field. In 2013, 6 houses at Westminster drive were flooded. I was one of those houses, £70,000 to repair! Sustainable drainage system will need to be included as part of the development to reduce the risk of flooding. How will Hockley Primary School be able to teach all the new children? The extra traffic will also increase air pollution. These houses that are being planned for are too expensive for first time buyers in the area and will be sold to people moving out of London or for Afghan refugees. The infrastructure will not cope. Roads, doctors, hospitals, schools, hospitals, drainage etc. We have ancient woodland and nature reserves. Please do not damage and destroy This site is not suitable.
