The SE Urban Extension of 4,200 new build houses will create at least the same number of additional vehicles, this will have a devastating effect on our already overloaded old road network that crosses the ship canal. It only takes 1 of the 3 Victorian swing bridges to fail in the open position and the whole town will become grid locked.
The town is surrounded on 3 sides by motorways and air polution is an issue now, so 4,200 extra houses & the additional vehicles will make this an even bigger issue.
Building on this Green Belt land cannot be justified when we are all supposed to be looking after our environment and reducing our carbon emissions, this development will do the opposite.
