We object strongly to the proposal of site 143. This is a rural village that will loose all of its appeal to visitors if it becomes a town through excessive housing. Excessive demands on schools and community facilities will cause bad feeling amongst the residents. There is no justification for this site to be used.
Doddinghurst is a small rural village and should remain so. Most of the residence live in this location because of its surroundings. development of extra housing in the village will greatly effect its residents and village live. Currently the infrastructure only just supports the residents living here already. Extra housing and residents will overload and stretch the limited resources of the village too far. We live directly adjacent to proposed site 143. Site 143 is a small holding / farm. This is the main reason we purchased our house so that we could experience the rural charm of a village. We have cockerels crowing and sheep bleating which is the very essence of the appeal to move here. The loss of this land will have a dramatic effect on all those around. Extra traffic will have to use Peartree Lane and Lime Grove. These are very small and restricted roads that are not suitable for any more traffic than they carry now. The location means we have no overlooking or overcrowding issues. Our enjoyment of the property will, be totally ruined if housing is allowed to be built in this location. Doddinghurst is a rural village and should remain so.
