There are already surface water flooding issues which will be exacerbated by the proposals. The nearby Bushcade site has mountains of gravel on it which add to the flooding problems.
The previously pleasant garden centre has been deliberately turned into a rubbish dump.
Concerned over how the additional traffic will be accommodated.
I should like to comment on the proposed development of Ingatestone Garden Centre, which I have done previously.
Having lived in this cul-de-sac for 45 years, whilst a very pleasant area in which to live, we know at first hand the problems encountered by surface water flooding and building 60? houses on this site would only exaccerbate this.
What has up to now been a pleasant Garden Centre has been deliberately turned into nothing short of a rubbish dump and the site further on, ie Bushcade, is also accumulating mountains of gravel for whatever reason to further add to the flooding problem.
How will the extra traffic be accommodated? we are not only considering perhaps 2 cars per family, but also the ever increasing amount of internet delivery vans.
Hopefully the right conclusion will be reached.
