With reference to page 33 point 73

As a neighbour directly effected by Hunters Green , Curtis mill green, Albyns lane Navestock, I am objecting against the possible regularisation of above mentioned sight as a traveller pitch , things that need to be considered are stated as follows,

1. This is a green belt area
2 Its on the edge of an sssi area
3. The current occupier has a commercial vehicle business operating from the sight resulting in a largely increased usage of the unmade track leading to it.
4. Extra caravans or extension of existing dwelling will inevitability happen to accommodate the steadily growing already large traveller family .
5. The extra use of the track due to family acquiring their own vehicles as they come of age.
6. The impact on the environment due to regular fires on the sight.
7. Impact on the environment due to unauthorised clearance of surrounding woodland.
8. The impact on the environment due to persistent use of large quad bikes in and around the sight (including the sssi area) .
9. Use of the already insufficient domestic waist bins sighted at the entrance to Curtis mill green.
10. Value decrease of surrounding properties.
