Representation Summary:

Re Ingatestone garden center.
I strongly object to the proposed 130 dwellings. That is a ridiculous amount of homes for a tiny and historic village to contend with. The facilities of the village are simply not equipped to deal with such a huge increase. Ingatestone has already sustained damage to its quaint character with recent modern developments.To make matters even worse the size of the proposed development is larger than the majority of the other sites(many of which have facilities which are far better suited to a significant increase in housing).
You are slowly eroding the beauty of the area.
