As a resident of Pilgrims Hatch there is already a considerable amount of housing development within a relatively small area(as figure 14 Settlement Hierarchy of your LDP clearly shows).Traffic from these developments would feed into the Doddinghurst Road which is already a very busy,single lane road often congested.This road couldn't sustain this increase.It would also take away a large piece of green belt land currently enjoyed by local residents.Doctors are already oversubscribed and there is a long wait for appointments. To build an additional 200 houses in such a built up area would just add to these problems.
