Roads - The road network around Langdon Hills is only just able to cope with the demands currently being placed upon it adding a potential additional vehicles (if every property had two cars) to the local road network would bring the area to a standstill. The A127 from the Dunton junction is always jammed in the morning rush hour - and this is without the additional houses already being built around Dunton Fords coming on stream. Before any new homes are built our road network must be developed to accommodate the influx of vehicles - this cannot be left until after they are built as this will be too late and has the danger of never actually taking place due to funding constraints

Other infrastructure - Similarly our local infrastructure (hospital, schools, GP surgeries etc) also need to be improved before any new homes are developed as you cannot wait for an influx of between more if there are families people bring the already overstretched facilities grind to a halt. Similarly the Sporting Village is already incredibly busy with major parking problems most night

local train operators are already changing their timetables in a way that massively impacts on commuters from the Laindon and West Horndon areas. People are already paying thousands of pounds for the 'luxury' of being made to stand on their journey to London. This development will just further exacerbate this issue

It is vital we protect the green belt across the whole of the borough and not build on it - once it has gone its gone forever

This is not designed to be a NIMBY response - it is designed to point out the major negative impacts the proposed development will have and lodge my objections to the plans.
