Representation Summary:

The increase in traffic generally in Rayleigh indicates an inability to cope with more. At present I will rarely go into Rayleigh town centre as there is always queing traffic. I Rawreth Lane increased traffic,changing speed limits and more traffic lights are casuing problems. It can now take five minutes to turn from my road onto Rawreth Lane and at peak times I can be sitting in traffic leading up to Hambro Hill. I do not believe we can sustain more traffic. A new housing estate, leisure complex and ASDA are already taking their toll and impacting on our lives.

Representation Summary:

I live in Lubbards Close and to get out of it is horrendous. Rawreth Lane must be the busiest road in Essex. During weekdays it can take a good 10 minutes to get out, because the traffic roars away from the corner at about 40 miles an hour, the noise and traffic is horrendous. There are no slow signs, no speed limit, it is so dangerous, its got worse since they built the estate further down and I hear they are going to build more further down the road this is appalling. This might be good for the local shops, but after talking to the Council they came and took trees out to make the pavement wider because it was dangerous only 3ft wide. But what did they do, park on the piece of ground that had been dug up and drive onto the road across the new pavement. The council did put some large water containers on the earth but some one has even moved one of them, sorry to be such a moaner but I don't want to move but Rawreth Lane is awful so please no more houses.

Representation Summary:

The building of 1,800 additional homes in Rayleigh is utterly unacceptable. It would put intolerable pressure on our local roads, schools and G.P. services. It would also mean a devastating loss of Green Belt land. Future residential development should be spread more evenly over the whole of the Rochford District, so that a smaller, fairer burden falls on Rayleigh.

1800 new houses in Rayleigh is ridiculous. The High Road is like a motor way now. 3600 new residents without their little darlings. It is almost impossible to see a doctor now. They close at 7.30 pm Fri - 7.30 am Mon. If you have a relative dying over the weekend, they send a policeman. There is only one grocery shop and I don't think they can put anymore computers in the library.

Representation Summary:

The Government policy of densely populating the South East of England in general is fundamentally flawed - your local area proposals are part of this:-

1. The local transport infrastructure is already at full stretch, in particular the roads which are already overloaded.
2. Support services (doctors, dentists, hospitals) are already problematic due to shear volume - hence falling standards/rising costs.
3. The basic infrastructure (utilities) by their nature would need to increase capacity which means wholesale street works, adding to traffic/parking/pedestrian issues.

I have recently been working in the area of my upbringing (East London) and was struck by the pressures that people live under, brought about by living cheek by jowel:-

Nowhere to park
Traffic dirt and grime
Dangerous driving behaviour
Street litter
Confrontational behaviour
Stress/Stress/Stress

Representation Summary:

The houses that have to be built should be fairly distributed over the whole of the district, not placed in large concentrations in one place, thus destroying the character of our village.
The roads, particularly Rawreth Lane cannot possibly absorb the huge amount of extra traffic such houses would generate.
Highways have already stated that, with the enormous amount of extra traffic that will be generated with the opening of the Asda site, Rawreth Lane will be filled to capacity.

Full text:

I object most strongly to the number of houses, 1800, that you propose to build in West Rayleigh.
Although your officers were particularly and deliberately vague in the exact location of these houses, it is known that your preferred options place these in the Rawreth area. Already there has been a huge amount of housing in this area and further building here, using open farmland, green belt will completely destroy the character of Rawreth and turn it into just the western edge of Rayleigh Town.
The roads, particularly Rawreth Lane cannot possibly absorb the huge amount of extra traffic these houses will generate. When the Asda application was presented Highways stated that Rawreth Lane would be completely full to capacity when the traffic from Asda was using it continually. Where is the traffic from these extra houses going to go?
I believe it is absolutely essential that all the houses should be fairly distributed throughout the whole of the district - not putting large concentrations in one area.

Representation Summary:

To build 1800 houses in rayleigh means almost certainly building them in Rawreth as it is the only area left with enough land. This in itself will ruin the rural life style of this community The prefered strategy is to attach large numbers of houses to the already built up areas because there is more chance of developing good infrastructures.
Rawreth lane, the A129 and the A127 cannot handle any increase in traffic so this devolopment of inferstructure could mean constructing a new major road through Rawreth which would complete the distruction of this rural community.

Representation Summary:

The building of a extra 1800 houses in and around the Rawreth area would be highly detrimental to the visual appearance of the Green Belt and open character of such settlements and totally against Rochford District Planning Policies Nos: R1 - R10.

Full text:

In the LDF Battlesbridge Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (Consultation Draft) Rochford District Council Planning Policies Item 4.13 clearly states: The Replacement Local Plan includes a range of policies dealing with development in Green Belt (policies R1-R10).
Development in many settlements and hamlets in the District that lie within Green Belt, including Battlesbridge and RAWRETH, is considered to be of such a sporadic nature that to allow any new dwellings would have a detrimental effect on the visual appearance of the Green Belt and the existing open character of such settlements.
Therefore, the building of 1800 extra houses in and around the Rawreth area would be completely detrimental and would be totally against Rochford District Planning Policies and should not be entertained.

Representation Summary:

The proposed major increase housing in Rayleigh will have a seriously distorting impact on the whole character and balance of the town.
The number of new houses will have the effect of overloading the infastructure and amenities. It will, also create a serious bottleneck for traffic flow along the A127 as the major increase in population will join the A127 at virtually the same junctions.
My judgement would be to distribute the required housing evenly across the area and use this as an opportunity to address the currently perceived shortcomings in infastructure and benefit the area as a whole.

Representation Summary:

Rayleigh has received most of the new housing in the District in the past 20 years, and is still lacking in the amenities required to catch up with what has already been built.

1800 extra homes is an unfair and unacceptable burden for the town to take.

It is not even certain that there is enough available land within the boundaries of Rayleigh even to accomodate 1800 houses. What's more the town needs some of the green patches around the edges as sites for the amenities, sports pitches etc that are already required.

Rayleigh has received most of the new housing in the District in the past 20 years, and is still lacking in the amenities required to catch up with what has already been built.

For example, the town has a sports pitches provision below the standard recommended by Sport England recommend, needs more medical facilities to cope even with the existing population, needs more facilities for young people, has overcrowded roads (like most of the district) etc etc

1800 extra homes is an unfair and acceptable burden for the town to take.

It is not even certain that there is enough available land within the boundaries of Rayleigh even to accomodate 1800 houses. What's more - and I have not seen this mentioned by anybody else- the town needs some of the green patches around the edges as sites for the amenities, sports pitches etc that are already required. Otherwise they will either cause nuisances for nearby residents or be too far out to be really useful.

The only advantage in putting most of the housing in Rayleigh is that it might reduce overall traffic flows. But the difference in traffic flows between 1800 and a lower figure is likely to be marginal. In any case, if this housing was put in Rayleigh, where could those needed amenities be sited?

A fairer solution is required that still protects the most rural villages of Stambridge, Paglesham, Rawreth etc.

The idea of building a yet further 1800 homes in Rayleigh is mind-blowing. The area I live in near Rawreth Lane has been developed on in recent years to the extent it is unrecogniseable. We used to have a comprehensive school and a nursery - now we have homes, homes and more homes - and a supermarket under construction! I am a Rayleigh man, born and bred. The old character and boundaries of Rayleigh are being destroyed by a council fixated on developing it in preference to other areas of the region. The infrastructure cannot cope and it is a betrayal of the people who live here to get away from congestion not be surrounded by it.

More housing in this area will only increase our misery and that of our neighbours - to try and get to the mini-roundabout into Hambro Hill from the traffic lights at Downhall Park Way between 4.45pm and 6pm can take up to 20 minutes now - not good if you are in an emergency situation.

ii) No additional amenities have yet been provided ie doctors, dentists, play areas for the increased population - only money making private businesses, ASDA, Leisure Centre etc, which will be the beginning of the end for our local parade of shops.
