Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 14590
Received: 19/04/2016
Respondent: Mr Richard Wright
Having lived in Ingatestone for over 20 years and witnessed first hand the progressive strain on village services and infrastructure, I am extremely concerned about the proposals for an additional 128 residential dwellings and the very negative/serious detrimental impact this will have on services, infrastructure, traffic and parking. It is also extremely concerning that although we are told that the draft Local Plan is currently only a proposal, the Ingatestone Garden Centre has already closed, which is the proposed site for 60 of the proposed new residential dwellings. While I accept the case for some new dwellings, 128 is excessive and must be reduced by at least 50%.
