I object to these proposals because....'

1. The proposed number of new houses will produce something like 8,00 vehicles. Each vehicle in turn (unless electric which most won't be) will produce Noxious Gases in an area that has been proven to exceeded the safe limits for Noxious Gases along the A127. This in turn will vastly negatively impact health to local residents.

2. The major road network is already at gridlock in the rush hours at both ends of the day. The infrastructure cannot sustain so many additional vehicle movements and I seriously doubt the necessary funds will be made available to provide road upgrades either via CIL or other funding mechanisms.

3. In conjunction with both 1 and 2 above, and relating to the existing traffic congestion and Noxious Gases, the Government has suggested the A127 become a Toll Road. Motorists are consistently treated as a cash cow, and the development would be completely out of place with so much existing serious motoring issues.

4. The rail network include the C2C line which is under severe strain at present, will not be able to provide the level of service commuters require.

5. With regard to item 4 above the local station car parks will not be able to accommodate the cars used by the commuters, thereby increasing parking in local roads to an unstainable level.

6. The amount of rain run off emptying into The Mardyke will produce more flooding, in an area that has a history of flooding.

7. Every year Basildon Hospital is shown to be incapable of achieving the Government targets, with many days classified as RED and BLACK days. Patients are queued outside A&E in ambulances as A&E is overrun with patients. With the increase in population from this development Basildon Hospital will massively fail to provide the level of service residents and the Government require.

8. Local Doctor Surgeries which are under constant pressure at pressure at present will not be able to accommodate the vast increase in patient numbers.

9. Finally I believe it is reprehensible to build homes on the Greenbelt. The proposed area has been shown to be rich in bio diversity with several protected species. This development would totally trash this virgin land and their habitat.
