I OBJECT TO THIS PLAN ON THE FOLLOWING BASIS:-

* The proposed site is greenbelt. We should not build on greenbelt. It is an invaluable asset for our future generation and urban sprawl must not be allowed.
* It is not proven that we need housing for this many people (Local) being operative word/name.
* We do not have schools , doctors, hospital facilities to cope.
* Local hospital is on Black Alert most of the time. With no extra funding to be able to cope with this ludicrous development.
* Our local roads are congested already causing both noise and air pollution.
* Our water drainage goes back to Victorian times therefore as much greenbelt as we can keep is advisable to soak up excess water.
* The greenbelt protects London both from flood and acts as a lung for clean air.
* The proposed site has already got a flood problem.
* The original consultation was shamble so is not fit for purpose, consequent re-arrangements regarding Basildon and Brentwood that have been made with out due notification making the outcomes even more erroneous in law. Changing major decisions half way through already flawed process.
* Greenbelt can only be built on in exceptional circumstances. Circumstances regarding over population from another area are not valid.
* The entire demographic will change if we come out of EU and do not take all and sundry from Europe when free movement may be irradiated.
* Road Infrastructure is insufficient, further road building will cause more pollution.
* The A127 is overcrowded and is the only road leading to the east .
* As a public Governor or Basildon hospital I can safely say the hospital is at breaking point and already has major financial problems and over subscription problems.
