This is an encroachment on the Green Belt which should always be protected. The number proposed would be excessive and unsustainable, wherever they were built around this area. The impact would be disastrous for local facilities, including hospital, GP surgeries & schools. Local roads are already busy without the added traffic & the extra emissions from an increase in vehicular movement would result in even more pollution in an area which already has one of the worst recordings of this.
Dear Sir/Madam,
This proposed development is causing great concern in the Great Berry/Langdon hills area. Firstly it is an encroachment on the green belt which should always be protected. That in itself should be enough reason to abandon the plans but there are a number of other concerns.
Whilst we are aware that housing is required , the number proposed would be excessive. Where ever they were built around this area.
The impact would be disastrous for local facilities. Basildon hospital is already under severe strain & local GP surgeries & schools over subscribed. Therefore a large increase in population is unsustainable.
Local roads are already busy without the added traffic & the extra emissions from an increase in vehicular movement would result in even more pollution in an area which already has one of the worst recordings of this.
We hope careful consideration is given to this proposal & that plans for this development are subsequently abandoned.
