Rochford District Core Strategy Regulation 26 Draft

With reference to the above due to unforeseen circumstances we are late in submitting our comments, which we hope you will accept.

The idea of another 1800 homes in Rayleigh, which is already becoming extremely built up, is utterly unacceptable. This committee feel that it will put intolerable pressure on the roads, G.P services and schools. The main roads entering Rayleigh are very congested and at times almost at a stand still.

Building this many homes can only mean one thing and that is the loss of large areas of green belt land, the lungs of our area, and just bury us and future generations under concrete.

We feel that the development should be spread more evenly over the county and indeed the country.
