I object to DGS or any development on land once designated or known as greenbelt now known as strategic allocation. On the grounds: 1. The whole plan is a lazy solution. Brown field sites are under developed; 2. There will be no affordable housing, we live in an expensive area, for people to upgrade to a bigger house and make room for a first time buyer is not an option in the current house market, householder need to upgrade by 200,000 pounds at least; 3. Greenbelt or renamed as strategic allocation is not an option, it is a lazy solution to enable house builders to make big profits and concrete over our PRECIOUS countryside. We NEED our greenery, from a London prospective and a local one; 4. If this is a local plan the actual numbers of houses needed is not quantifiable, although various attempts have been made to pluck figures, with the EU fiasco we have no idea how many people are hanging around so there fore figures are farcical; 5. Providing houses for people and destroying Greenbelt to accommodate unaffordable housing is totally unacceptable; 6. Our greenbelt provides fresh air not only for London but soaks up pollution from our one gateway east the A127, the A127 is already breaking records as regards to emission levels, we need the Greenbelt to protect this; 7. Wildlife will be adversely affected; 8. I am a Governor at Basildon Hospital and can categorically tell you that they have no capacity for thousands more people, the Government are cutting funding and merging hospitals to save money, not building more; 9. We live in a highly congested area, with spillage from A127 regularly passing through our village, with thousands of more houses without turning the roads into motorways we cannot cope with more traffic accumulating making more pollution; 10. Building on London greenbelt is not the answer, it should be protected and without Law Change is illegal; 11. The whole project is flawed, from consultation to misrepresentation of figures and need.
