Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

H2 General Locations and Phasing - Preferred Option

Representation ID: 4288

Received: 17/12/2008

Respondent: Bull Lane Development Group

Representation Summary:

Land at Rawreth/London Road Rayleigh

The land proposed at Hullbridge and the subsequent road changes at the bend of Hullbridge Road and Watery Lane will cause such congestion, as already this is a major bottleneck, as a single way into and through the village of Hullbridge.

The proposed alterations as suggested to Watery Lane is a nonsense, the land itself is very unsafe due to its narrowness, the talk of straightening part of the road up to Beeches Road, will not overcome these problems. Beeches Road is also unsafe, with heavy lorries travelling to the sewerage plant.

I have to travel with my wing mirrors in all the way for safety. I have lived in my house for 37 years and as a driver travel a number of times per week to Wickford and South Woodham Ferrers.

It is also muted that there will be a cycle path, and again I cannot see this a safe option due to the reasons already given. Although as a cyclist a proper cycle path is a good thing to have.

With a larger amount of traffic, or cars, vans, cyclists, lorries and horses which are stabled in Beeches Road already using the road to capacity, I cannot see the benefit in building housing to create more problems on the road. Furthermore to then consider additional travel due to the possible building of the site in Rawreth, this will then cause havoc.

Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

H2 - Alternative Options

Representation ID: 4300

Received: 17/12/2008

Respondent: Bull Lane Development Group

Representation Summary:

Land North at Bull Lane, Rayleigh - 11.52 acres is considered an alternative option.

It should be the preferred option for affordable housing

It should be the preferred option due to the fact that it immediately adjoins Rayleigh Town.

The promotion of the Land at Bull Lane through the Local Development Framework is a very good option to for allocation of housing. It reaches the consideration of a most sustainable location. In respect to the land being in walking distance of Rayleigh station, buses and local shops, and local infants and senior schools. It joins the existing town of Rayleigh, and still allows enough buffer between Rayleigh and Hockley.

It is served with a good bus service, local schools, shops and health centre, and doctors HP9.

The release of the land would still allow presence of the openness of Green Belt. It surgeries. It is in keeping with Policies HP8/PH1 and the criteria defined in Policy would not encroach on the 'Green Buffer' suggested in the councils preliminary publications.

Town Shopping - Rayleigh Town Centre - itself with its wide range of shops, also
The Local Park, Library, Community Centre, are also just a mile away.
Schools Infants and Junior School are services by the Grove School which is 0.4 mile distance from the site.
The Fitzwymark Senior School is local and is just 0.5 miles away.
Travel Policy TP1
Roads - Bull Lane has a good road structure for travelling from Rochford - Southend - London - Chelmsford.
Buses - There is a good choice of regular buses from Rayleigh which links the county in all directions, see attached routes.
Trains - The good train service carries passengers from Rayleigh to Southend and London directions.
Points raised here are within the East of England Plan and for these reasons we believe that Bull Lane would be suitable for development.

Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

H2 General Locations and Phasing - Preferred Option

Representation ID: 4301

Received: 17/12/2008

Respondent: Bull Lane Development Group

Representation Summary:

Land at Rawerth - Rayleigh

It should not the preferred option for affordable housing

The land proposed at Rayleigh will be a blot on the landscape, there are already too many houses, with problems with travel, and not enough local amenities, which are already in place in Rayleigh Town itself.

The roads will become even more congested than they are, with additional traffic through the country lanes close by causing much congestion at times.

Although this is supposed to be for the public to vote on, one can only suppose that all has been agreed prior to this final stage, due to the information already given out re roads, and perceived alterations one sees along the roadside getting ready for the start dates (Watery Lane).

Hullbridge and the subsequent road changes at the bend of Hullbridge Road, and Watery Lane will cause such congestion, as already this is a major bottleneck, as a single way into and through the village of Hullbridge.

The proposed alterations as suggested to Watery Lane is a nonsense, the lane itself is very unsafe due to its narrowness, the talk of straightening part of the road up to Beeches Road, will not overcome these problems.
