I would like to strongly object to the proposed housing development for Sites 044 and 178 on Priests Lane.
The access route on to Priests Lane itself from site 044 poses a problem to pedestrians and motorists alike.
The access point to the new housing is almost opposite Glanthams Road and will create a traffic hot spot.
Exiting Glanthams Road is already difficult. It is almost a blind corner with cars having to edge out to see whether they can turn left or right
Even if the access point in Bishops Walk were considered as a safer option the increase in traffic will only add to levels of pollution already suffered due to standing traffic in the mornings.
The extra housing will make the high levels of traffic pollution and congestion in the area worse.
Doctors surgeries in Shenfield and Brentwood are currently turning patients away unable to cope.
The extra housing in Priests Lane will put more strain on already stretched services.
Sites 044 and 178 are currently considered a protected urban open space. It is a green field site that should be kept as such.
