Respondent: Mr Stephen Benton

Representation Summary:

To build 55 dwellings on this site would be completely out of character for the Old Shenfield area. This could mean 100 extra cars and delivery vans etc on our already busy road which get gridlocked at certain times of the day. Our schools are already full and to get in to see a doctor you can wait two weeks or longer.

Dear Sir or Madam
I have now read through your Local Plan document on line.

As a resident of Crescent Drive I am very concerned with regard to the proposal to build on the Blood Centre site.

My main concerns are you are planning to build 55 dwellings on this site, this would be completely out of character for the Old Shenfield area.

As I see it this could mean 100 extra cars and delivery vans etc on our already busy road which get gridlocked at certain times of the day.
Also the residents are going to need schools and doctors etc.
Our schools are already full and to get in to see a doctor you can wait two weeks or longer.
I believe that the Bayman Covenant on this land is for it to be for medical uses only.
If you must build on this land I feel it should be large houses in keeping with the area or Bungalows that are in very short supply and this
would encourage older people to downsize to free up family homes.
I therefore oppose the proposal in its present form.
