Respondent: Mr Earnest Turner

Representation Summary:

CFS064
I object to this field site (CFS064) being used for housing because the infrastructure of Hockley village would be put under severe pressure.
The traffic on the B1013 is already congested and more cars would severely impact this problem.
Increased traffic through the Betts Farm estate would increase pollution and damage health for all generations. The community centre is an important local facility and this could be adversely affected by additional access roads.
The field and adjacent hedgerows support local wildlife and native species.
The footpath around the field is regularly used by walkers. The ancient woodland near the field would be adversely affected by additional housing.
I feel very strongly that the village of Hockley should remain a village and cannot support extra housing and traffic.
