319 Mr M Lang<br />

Not down in this corner <strong>of</strong> Essex. We should be saying no more room down here, roads won't cope, new jobs and housing<br />

should go up North to encourage growth up there rather than leading to a North/South divide.<br />

320 J Feather Not a new town. Fill-in around the whole district, not just Rayleigh<br />

321 R J Feather Definitely not a new town. Fill in the gaps across the entire district.<br />

No housing to be built on green belt. No new development south <strong>of</strong> the railway line. Any new housing should be<br />

sustainable and energy efficient.<br />

I have lived in this area since 1949 and personnaly don't think the towns and villages you mention shouldb e further<br />

developed. They are losing their identity, their green spaces and traffic problems are occuring. Hockley has been<br />

overdeveloped, leaving it with congested roads and Rochford is being squashed with new building and losing its old<br />

character. Hawkwell has always been proud <strong>of</strong> being a "bungalow" village with its farmland and green spaces, but since the<br />

expansion <strong>of</strong> Cherry Orchard Lane, more and more lorries are being channeled through Hawkwell. There is already<br />

frustration at the Nursery corner mini roundabout where <strong>all</strong> the traffic converges causing long tail backs. Please save the<br />

green belt around these villages and stop further development. I think people would be more sympathetic to the building <strong>of</strong><br />

a new town or village as long as it isn't <strong>all</strong>owed to encroach on existing neighbourhoods. Let there be space between any<br />

new developments and the existing inhabitants. I think a lot <strong>of</strong> the trouble with new building is the fact that they are forced<br />

on to local residents without any thought for how the influx <strong>of</strong> people will affect them with regard to the extra noise, traffic and<br />

In my opinion no further development should be <strong>all</strong>owed in the RDC area. Current infrastructure will not sustain such<br />

development and if it is forced by local and central government, current users <strong>of</strong> local infrastructure will suffer to a great<br />

extent. I live in Hullbridge and unless I leave for work early my journey is compromised by traffic congestion. Delays will<br />

also be incurred for emergency service vehicles if roads become more congested.<br />

Land should not be released from green belt! I thought the whole concept <strong>of</strong> designating land as green belt was to protect it<br />

from development. Efforts should be directed at ch<strong>all</strong>enging the central government's requirement. Any development<br />

326 Owner/Occupier should be on brownfield sites, measures should be considered to help reduce the number <strong>of</strong> empty houses.<br />

Certainly not - we have the green belt protect ourselves from over crowding, lack <strong>of</strong> green belt and we would <strong>all</strong> be living in<br />

towns. I moved into the Hockley/Ashingdon area from Rayleigh, which is just a concrete jungle now - so spoilt. No more<br />

development in the Rochford and surrounding areas, the roads can't cope, schools are on their maximum capacity, doctors,<br />

have to wait days for appointment - general lack <strong>of</strong> infrastructure don't make it any worse - the Thamesgate way is bad <strong>all</strong><br />

327 Mrs C Taylor<br />

round. Go build in the MP's back yard - we are leaving here now!<br />

I am against any further erosion <strong>of</strong> the green belt, this area could be liable to extensive flooding and concreting over further<br />

land could have disasteruos results. I think the areas mentioned above have already been developed too much for comfort<br />

329 Mrs M J Snowdon over the past few years.<br />

Sm<strong>all</strong> number <strong>of</strong> larger housing developments combined with existing infilling. Need for improved infrastructure - especi<strong>all</strong>y<br />

roads/public transport. Leave true 'Green Belt' land as it is. Use areas <strong>of</strong> piecemean 'plotlands' and develop to current<br />

standards. Need to 'maintain barriers' between areas. Develop mini-towns on redundant farmbuildings. Consider social<br />

330 P Mansbridge<br />

needs <strong>of</strong> these developments especi<strong>all</strong>y young people.<br />

I would propose a new town type development. I think Hockley/Hawkwell/Rayleigh have become too enlarged and<br />

urbanised without much road access improvement. Suggest looking at South Fambridge, W<strong>all</strong>asea Island, Foulness or<br />

what about Maplin (which was a very popular choice for Londons 3rd airport a few years ago I rec<strong>all</strong>). Must build decent<br />

331 Mr A C Cooper road links - STOP fighting the car - it's here to stay at least for next few decades!
