Respondent: Mr Nazamudin Rajubally

Representation Summary:

There is already noise and engine pollution from the A12 which the land is adjacent to, the introduction of more cars will worsen this. There is already a lot of traffic on the surrounding roads which will only increase if more housing is crammed into the area without other supporting infrastructure being built. Schools and GP practices in the area are already oversubscribed; the influx of new homeowners would worsen this.

023A - Land off Doddinghurst Road, either side of A12, Brentwood: We would not like to see houses being built on this piece of land. We enjoy living next to a green belt of land, and while there are already a number of houses in the area, it will be further spoilt by more construction. There is already noise and engine pollution from the A12 which the land is adjacent to, the introduction of more cars will worsen this. There is already a lot of traffic on the surrounding roads which will only increase if more housing is crammed into the area without other supporting infrastructure being built. Schools and GP practices in the area are already oversubscribed; the influx of new homeowners would worsen this. The council will have to expend a greater amount of money on facilities for the new homeowners, and considering council funding is being cut by the central government this will cause funding issues and an increase in council tax for existing residents.
