Objection to Rochford Core Strategy,175 houses in Hawkwell

Dear sirs, We wish to make plain our objections to the above strategy. The proposal is completely unsound. The infrastructure is not in place to meet the additional traffic that will have to use an already over loaded road. ie the B1013 .We cannot see an economical solution to this problem other than a new main road built, North of the village starting at the A130 running through to Thorpe Bay .Obviously this would cost millions of pounds and therefore could never happen. To keep loading an overcrowed main road running from Rayleigh to Rochford,with Hawkwell stuck in the in middle is madness.Not to mention the effect it would have on Rectory Road and Thorpe Road.Surely,as planners you can see this . Also, the schools and the Doctors facilities are not good enough already. Furthermore,I have lived in the Hockley/Hawkwell area for 45 years and do not want it turned into a town rather than the village that it is struggling to remain now.We cannot afford to lose these green belt areas and the wildlife.. Please lodge my objections
