Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation

Representation ID: 1261

Received: 01/10/2013

Respondent: Mrs Leslie Gibbs

Representation Summary:

With reference to the proposal for 1500 new houses and a traveller site I would like to raise an objection on the grounds of:
1 West Horndon is at risk of flooding and my garden regularly floods
2 The drains are inadequate now, let alone with the additional volume
3 The proposed site incorporates the Metropolitan Green Belt. It is there for a reason and I fear that once it is no longer sacred where will it end?
4 The school will not be able to cope
5 It will completely change the look, feel and character of the village and sometimes more is not better.
