For the third time planning permission is being requested for dwellings to be built on this woodland site. The same objections still apply and have even got worse since 5 years of the last refusal. Traffic on this very busy country lane has got even worse now with the latest new development at Brentwood Hsp yet alone Clements Park. Mascalls lane is a single lane road until it reaches the junction at the top by Fat Turk restaurant where is just about goes into 2 lanes, the traffic build up of a morning is terrible and can even take at least 10 mins to get onto Warley Hill from the side turnings. To build another development at this site would in our opinion be detrimental to this once pretty area of woodland. Over the past years it has been reduced from a pretty woodland with abundant wild life and lovely trees into a ragged site with even the removal of a very old oak tree without prior warning to residents- which caused devastation to gardens.!!! Privacy and light would be gone yet alone the turmoil building a new development here would create. There is no road access from Mascalls Lane so obviously access would have to be obtained before building and we believe that this small road would not cope. The local plan states that another 525 homes to be built in Warley by 2033 - we are already an extremely busy area being a short cut from M25 and A127 and suffer badly when these roads have problems (which is near enough every day) !! Please exclude this from your Localplan and help to get this little woodland back to the way it was and not another over crowded site full of houses and roads that cannot cope. Our local schools and especially doctors are overwhelmed now so with the arrival of even more dwellings which be completely over populated
