I do not think this is a good idea. We will lose the green belt land affecting the wildlife. there will be more congestion both on the main roads such as the A127 which are already bad enough even at 6am, where I am now queing to get on to the A127 at Dunton. The local streets are no better especially with all the potholes. The train station will be over crowded, I already have issues with people parking on corners etc to then walk to the station. This is becoming more and more dangerous.

Basildon Hospital is already at breaking point as are the doctors.

In Moderate rain we already have flood issues let alone if more greenbelt is built on. which will not allow water to drain in the soil. There is also a lack of a secondary school.

Why do we need to build all these extra houses? There has already been hundreds / thousands built at the back of dunton and on the old Laindon school site. Plus the ones planned for Dry street. The houses that keep popping up are not the type I would buy or even want to live in. I like the area for it's open spaces. Please keep it that way. The area is becoming too congested. I do not want to become an extension of London.
