West Rochford 600 dwellings

Representation ID: 21545

Received: 28/04/2010

Respondent: Rochford Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Serious concerns that the three sites, Rochford West, Ashingdon South and Rochford East, would create major highways implications with the increase in vehicles, particular the latter two sites which would impact on the already overused and congested Ashingdon Road.
The infrastructure in Rochford cannot sustain a large increase in housing.
The loss of Green Belt land at a time when there is a shortage of farming land to provide food for the increasing population.
A major part of Rochford's Green Belt will be taken up with the Airport Development
Environmental issues due to increase of housing. This would create more vehicles thus increasing pollution from emissions.
Any expansion of King Edmund School would create increased vehicle movements, including buses to transport pupils from the Wakering/Barling/Foulness area. Although it is noted that there would be new access road to the School within the South Ashingdon development, the traffic would still have to use Ashingdon Road and other unclassified roads around Rochford.
An increase in housing would impact on the amount of policing required.
Regarding the proposal for Rochford West, Ironwell Lane is an ancient byway, where there a number of protected hedges, therefore it should be ensured that no direct access to Ironwell Lane from the new development is allowed.
