Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

I wish to protest against the Domestic development of 500 Dwellings in South West Hullbridge, irrespective of the timing of the Development.

I was very pleased to attend a meeting at the Day Centre on Monday 12th April 2010 regards a proposed development which will extend the habitable boundary by approximately 30%.

I was always of the opinion that a Local Authority was set up to serve and represent the people, but your attitude at the meeting gave me the impression that you really serve the County Council and Central government dictates, please explain how this attitude serves Local Democracy.

Did you inform the 'community' at the meeting that you have already forwarded the incumbent Planning Application to the National Inspectorate?

I consider it somewhat regrettable that the truth course of action, under the rules and regulations of Local government, that prior notice was not given will in advance of Planning Applications being submitted.

It seems that you do not consider it prudent to allow the 'community' the opportunity to discuss and put forward our opinions, objections and grievances of your proposals, in this instance, affecting the existing community as a whole.

It is unacceptable, at short notice to inform me that all opinions are required by or before the 30th April, not providing me with the opportunity to make the necessary educated perusal of the advantages and disadvantages of the scheme being requested for approval.

It is also regrettable for the Planning Officer (Mr Scutton) not answering some very pertinent questions and to inform the people at the meeting that the eventual outcome lay in the hands of the inspectorate.

I presume the meeting was held in accordance with set procedures and principles and obligations of Local Government to inform the people only.

Did your secretaries (presuming they were present) make notes of the questions and answers being put forwarded by the residents, and will I get a copy of these 'minutes' for perusal. It was noted that, apart from the three officials of the District Council, the absence of the Councillors representing Hullbridge was clearly obvious. In my opinion this suggests the low esteem with which has always been treated in many respects.

Risk Assessment

In view of this most important issue, I wonder if you would be kind enough to provide me with the opportunity to scrutinise the 'General Risk Assessments' you are obliged to make to the inspectorate and which will have an impact on the proposal, such as:

The Environment
Infrastructure
Flood (Watery Lane in regular flood - featured on the National News recently).
Density
Drainage
Main Services
Roads
Access - to and from Hullbridge
Schools
Doctors
Council Services, including fire and police
Health and Safety.

18 Gypsy Sites.

I was informed that 18 gypsy sites are required to be made available for 'Travellers' who make no contribution whatsoever to the financial requirements of the locality and, indeed could you explain the benefits to the community.
I am required by 'Law' to make payment for all services, but there is no requirement for these people whatsoever to observe the same rules and regulations as the rest of us, I wonder if you can make some plausible argument to pay for the services through our Council Tax.

Have you learnt from the experiences by other Local Authorities and that is well known that these people have no respect for us whatsoever.

Designation and Classification of Land

Please provide me with the information on the designation/classification of 'Green Belt', White Land and Brown field land.

Investment

I was also informed at the meeting that you were trying to attract 'investment' in this area, please explain how a Domestic Development will have the capacity to attract 'investment'.

Developers

Could you also please explain how the Developers gain the knowledge that the 'Green Belt' land would be available for 'Development', hence their purchase and planning applications which you admit have been forwarded by them for approval on this development.
Can you explain how 'Social Affordable Housing' will be purchased, or indeed will not be only made available for 'economic migrants'.
It is well known that it is extremely difficult to get mortgages or indeed the finances to rent properties.

Your response will be welcomed and I hope you will provide me with the opportunity to debate the merits of this development, and a proper timetable given to me/community.
