Respondent: Mrs Mandy Carr

Representation Summary:

I do not think that the plans for the additional dwellings in the area have been properly thought through.

Full text:

The plan for additional housing appears ill judged. How the Council expects to add so many additional dwellings into the local area without it causing an unsustainable drain on the current infrastructure demonstrates a lack of thought. Has there been an evaluation on the impact on schools, NHS medical services, public transport and roads really been considered. The current plan shows 101 dwellings being added to the current site of the Essex Fire Brigade in Rayleigh Road, a site that could only accommodate this number if the dwellings were built without due regard to the local environment and properties that border the site. Why also are two garden centres ear-marked for closure, this would be a very sad loss.
