We moved from Canvey Island because of traffic congestion. An average of Two cars per household would back traffic up whitch already is bad getting into Hullbridge road. Watery Lane consistantly floods and gets closed.It is narrow and cannot accomodate increased traffic volumes.My drive and the field floods from rain water as we are low level and the drains cannot cope with it.The pressure in the drains often lifts the drain lid in the North end of Hullbridge road.We would not have bought our house if the land around us was not green belt.Our property will be devalued

This is an entirely inappropriate development for such a small village. Much of Hullbridge is made up of unmade or unadopted roads that simply could not cope with the demands of traffic. Many roads do not have surface water drains. The village is a mix of old and new properties, an entirely new housing estate on the outskirts of the village would be isolated. At the moment this land is wonderful green fields that give hullbridge the rural feel that so many of us love.

Whichever option is chosen the existing infrastructure will not cope with 500 new dwellings. Any such development will be to the detriment of the residents of Hullbridge.

No more housing for Essex and certainly none for Hullbridge! We moved from Thundersley to get away from an overcrowded gridlocked area, this is what will happen to this area if 500 units are built on the land at the back of our property. The infrastructure won't cope, the flooding will increase, where will the kids go to school. As it stands there are two roads in and out of Hullbridge. Watery lane which is narrow and often closed due to flooding and Rawreth lane which is often congested. More housing .......... STUPID IDEA!!

This is the only option that is worth doing, so get on with it.

I cannot see how the village would cope with all these new buildings,Watery lane floods,the fields do flood,we dont have the drainage inplace to cope for these new homes,the schools are not big enough,the side roads would be a race track. The main traffic flows out of Hullbridge is towards Rayleigh and I cannot see how the road will cope with 500 new homes.It needs nore consideration to the infrastructures that already dont work!

Infrastructure and utility services are clearly insufficient to cope with proposed adotional dwellings and associated loads on the water and sewer network.Several of the access roads are private and not adopted by the council, and single track. School with insufficient capacity for the additional influx of children. Generally will detract from village atmosphere.

The sheer scale of this development is out of balance with the current size of Hullbridge. The level of improvements to the local infrastruture would need to be immense and in a time of reduced capacity for public spending, I find it difficult to believe that the required financial resources could be made available. The local infrastructure already creates problems with traffic and drainage in hullbridge and this will certainly increase the problems already experienced by residents.

Although SWH1 fits neatly onto the south western corner of Hullbridge and would be the obvious choice compared to the three alternatives it really doesn't make sense to expand the village for three particular reasons.
Flooding, traffic congestion and drainage/sewage.
Back in 1963 Lower Road was flooded very badly and even today (22nd February '10) Watery Lane was flooded and impassable. Furthermore, the area of Malyons field to the north of The Priories retains the water until it overflows into the surrounding gardens, garages and sewers.
Access in and out of the village particularly on the Hullbridge Road/Rawreth Lane/Watery Lane can be a complete nightmare and the development would only make things worse.
I therefore object to this proposal on the grounds of very poor infrastructure.

SUMMARY I object to any building on green belt or agricultural land. There areother brownfield sites and areas particularly around the airport that couldtake additional homes without using green belt/agicultural land. Buildingshould take place if necessary close to existing train stations andsecondary schools to avoid additional car and bus journies. The wholeinfrastructure in Hullbridge is geared to a small village - extending thisby 550 homes would result in the population rising by some 2000 people overtime. All amenities would be overwhelmed and the identity of Hullbridgewould change forever.
1) A major development on this scale cannot be contained within theexisting infrastructure. 2) All access roads are single lane and most are unmade/unadopted or just30 years old without any major resurfacing over the period. They could nottake the strain of another 2000 cars. 3) No roads are of a size to include pedestrian walkways. 4) Street lighting is inadequate. 5) Existing Drains and sewage cannot cope with additional development onthis scale. In addition Hullbridge Road and Watery Lane cannot manageadditional water flow and back-up and overflow/flood during heavy rainfall. 6) Parking will be a major problem - possible additional 2,000 vehicles,plus visitors arising out of 500 home development. 7) Roads and access to and from the village will become blocked andsaturated. 8) No comprehensive school within walking or within 3 miles easy route 9) Primary school too small for potentially additional 1,000+ children. 10) No child facilities - except the main park. 11) No youth facilities except very old small old school building. 12) Loss of green belt land. 14) Loss of agricultural land. 15) Loss of views, walking amenities and environment. 16) Damage to local wildlife - herons, field mice, shrews, pheasants,ducks, foxes, badgers, birds. 17) Loss of hedgerows and ancient trees (oaks). 18) Loss of drainage ditches. 19) Access for emergency services - already very tight and unsuitable. 20) Health facilities - all unable to cope with additional 2000 people. 21) Waste and recycling collection and facilities are inadequate and willbe further stretched by additional homes and people. 22) Public transport - access and usage. Already limited to one bus. 23) No train station - access to Hockley and Rayleigh alreadyvery congested on single lane roads.

Whoever has chosen these sites has done so at random and without any thought or research into what impact this would have on Hullbridge and its current infrastructure It seems the decision about a development has already been taken without the residents being allowed to voice their opinions and now only have options The development is disproportionate in size to the existing housing and the village community would be lost As it is intended to build on green belt mentioning preserving it would seem hypercritical and irrelevant SWH4 would appear to be the less intrusive site.

All extra housing in Hullbridge will result in extra traffic proceeding along Rawreth Lane and Beeches Road/Watery Lane - this is entirely unsustainable. Both roads are completely full to capacity and, as admitted by you, Watery Lane is subject to frequent congestion and flooding.

3. Size, density and types of housing are inappropriate.
4. Increased road traffic congestion.
5. Irreplaceable loss of Green Belt land.
6. Flooding: Concreting on countryside will raise the level of the water-table.
