Object to proposed development in Ingatestone which cannot be accommodated.
Do not have the infrastructure to cope with more houses. Already problems with flooding at one end of the village with the sewage system unable to cope. The doctors surgery cannot cope with the new residents. It is impossible to park and there are not the places in local schools.
Our Green Belt is disappearing quickly and Ingatestone is being swallowed up and merged with Brentwood, Shenfield and Mountnessing and no doubt shortly to Margaretting and eventually joining up with Chelmsford.
Object to development in Ingatestone.
I am writing to you regarding my concerns over the draft plans for Ingatestone and the surrounding area.
My husband and I moved to Ingatestone 47 years ago when it was a village which was one of the reasons we chose to live here. We have watched it change over the years, with several of the old houses knocked down and new houses squeezed on to the plots.
We understand that several more areas are being ear-marked for development.
WE DO NOT have the infrastructure to cope with more houses. We already have problems with flooding at one end of the village with the sewage system unable to cope, whilst the doctors surgery is already struggling to cope with all the new residents and it is also impossible to park, plus we don't have the places in the local schools.
Our Green Belt is disappearing at an alarming rate and out wonderful village of Ingatestone is bring swallowed up and merged with Brentwood, Shenfield and Mountnessing and no doubt shortly to Margaretting and eventually joining up with Chelmsford, which is something I and my husband do not want to see.
My husband and I strongly object to the draft plans for Ingatestone. We do not need and certainly cannot accommodate any more housing.
