I strongly object to the development at Dunton Garden Village, adjacent to A128.

There are far too many homes scheduled for the area. 4,000 in the overall timeframe, producing in the region of 10,000 inhabitants.

The A128 will not be able to cope with the volume of vehicles entering and exiting the development as it is a single track road. This would probably in the region of 8,000 vehicles.

The additional volume of traffic will cause congestion on the A128 which as a by-product will produce unhealthy and dangerous levels of toxicity.

In the rush hours the A128 is often at a standstill already, and the number of additional vehicles will massively exacerbate the problem making the development unsafe, especially for the young children who will suffer from high levels of toxicity.

Parking at the local railway stations (West Horndon and Laindon) do not have the capacity to absorb a high number of additional vehicles necessitating motorists to park in already overcrowded local side roads.

The C2C railway service will not be able to accommodate the additional passenger numbers.

The local infrastructure will be unable to cope with the increase in population numbers, for example
Schools

The local infrastructure will be unable to cope with the increase in population numbers, for example
Doctor Surgeries.

This is destruction of precious greenfield site in an area that has to be retained to assist in keeping the air that we breathe as pure as possible, especially in these times of high levels of pollution.

This development will displace, and most likely kill several protected species of wildlife.

This development will destroy the ancient Dunton Wayletts settled community.

This development is being used as a apolitical pawn, and is bearing the major load of the Brentwood additional homes (initially 2,000 rising to 4,000) in the Local Plan, which is far out of balance with the spread of housing numbers in other parts of the Borough.

The vast increase in vehicle movements will massively impact on the already overloaded A127, and which Basildon Council and Essex County Council are already having to propose speed restriction in an attempt to reduce pollution.

The vast increase in vehicle movements will massively impact on the already overloaded A13.

Local roads will not be able to accommodate the vast increase in vehicles and vehicle movements.
