I am writing to you this evening to express my strong feelings against more houses being placed in the area. Already, there is too large of a community for such a small area and having more people thrust into the mix is not going to help at all. To give an example, getting the train from Brentwood into London at rush hour is nearly impossible given that the trains only run every 30 minutes from Ingatestone. Getting on a train packed full of people is hard enough without a new population being added in. Additionally, I strongly advise you to think about the detrimental effects new developments will have on the environment. For every person added, there is a new amount of carbon emissions and deforestation which takes place and, being that Essex was once a farming community, I find it extremely disheartening that gentrification is taking us away from that once proud part of our shared identity. Please consider my views and I look forward to hearing any relevant response.
