Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Representation ID: 18970

Received: 12/02/2018

Respondent: Mr Michael Plock

Representation Summary:

The healthcare section seems to provide little detail how these essential services will actually be provided. What is required is more GP's and hospital beds for the expanded population. I don't believe online services are going to be of use when it is impossible to get through to an overstretched GP practice already. We need clear guidance on how our expanded community will be cared for and how these GP's and beds will actually be provided.

SITE 102- WILLIAM HUNTER WAY CAR PARK = Site is an astonishingly poor choice. With the expanded population and shoppers wishing to visit the town where will people park? From Kelvedon Hatch we have a sparse bus service already. Using the car is the only option especially if wanting to visit in the evening for dinner. With the expanded use of the railway especially what facilities will there be? If we wish our town to be prosperous and want people to come and spend there hard earned money, we need to give them the opportunity to park. Otherwise they will just order online or visit lakeside where there are all the shops and free parking.

SITES 194 & 075B - I object to these sites do the the existing pressure that will be put on to local services and roads and the small overstretched GP surgery supporting the local community.
