Sites 044 and 178 should not be developed because of the significant safety issues that would be caused by these developments. I walk along Priests Lane often to get to the station or to the high street. There is a lot of traffic, and the pavement is only one side of the road most of the way. It is difficult to check that there are no cars coming where I have to cross and I often have to run across the road. I have had some near misses when cars come around the bends fast. In the mornings cars queue up the road and I can smell the car pollution.
The road is very narrow and I do not like to cycle on the road because it does not feel safe. More cars will make it worse.
I am worried that the number of houses being built will make the road even more unsafe and increase pollution. It is a shame to build on the green spaces in the centre of town because they help reduce pollution. If they must put houses on the green fields here, I think that there should also be some open space for everyone to use because there is not much open space in this part of Shenfield.
