Funds from CLI will be insufficient to provide the needed infrastructure for roads, health, school and flood defenses.
This is an important area of green belt that should not be developed.
Basildon and Thurrock Hospital is experiencing frequent black and critical alerts with no plans to increase capacity. This development will make the situation much worse.
The road infrastructure in this area cannot cope with more traffic, especially the A127 and A128. Due to the close proximity of buildings these roads cannot be widened and there are no plans in place to increase their capacity.
There is a risk that this development will cause flooding along the Mardyke flood plane. Measures to prevent this would be far too expensive.
Funds from CLI will be insufficient to provide the needed infrastructure for these needs and for schools etc.
