Please save our fields...500 house to be built in my village

[slammedresto]

A private developer is planning to build 500 houses on green fields/meadows behind my small estate in Rayne Village, Braintree,Essex. It is going to bring in an extra 900+cars to the village, causing pollution and congestion, as well as problems with local schools, doctors and transport issues.

The environmental destruction will be huge

Signed. :wink:

If we didn't allow so many people to come into this country there wouldn't be such a problem. :x

You want to try living in Telford!
The Deputy PM (John Prescott at the time) gave permission for 1000+ houses to be built on Brown Belt land and decided to call it the 'Millenium Project'

Couldn't disagree more - it's our centuries' old tradition of welcoming people from overseas that has made this country so varied and diverse - a great thing in my opinion!

With Justin and Mutley on this one. Building patterns can be contentious but they aren't dictated by migration- not many recent immigrants can afford to buy in Essex but they are essential to the UK economy so they're renting where they can.
If you want to find out who is responsible for crap decisions look for greedy developers, corrupt councillors and iffy MPs, they don't make on sensibly priced or social housing.
Just follow the money trail...

PS Is the next step to send my Irish forebears back? They came for work in steel and shipping- the cheeky little economic migrants.

Move to Northern Ireland! we are no longer allowed to build single dwellings ANYWHERE in designated countryside, im not talking about green belt, it means a complete planning block on all single dwellings!!.

...plus we got a higher standard of education, our streets are safer than anywhere else in the UK and the guiness is damn nice too .

Greedy developers have screwed it for all of us, try putting a private planning bid for a new house you just wont get it, but when a developer tries? no problems sticking 12 flats on the same plot :wink:

Gotta say that I am in favour of all new housing schemes, this country needs more housing we can't continue with limited building, to meet the needs of our growing population in the next 50 years we will need millions of new homes..

Some good points there, but yet again we are letting the developers get away with their easy money ways, yes the houses are better designed than they were 20 to 30 years ago but as each development is built the houses get taller, closer together and the gardens are shrinking, they get permission to build 50 homes and they wangle 60 in with a little local planning persuasion. Ive been watching this over the years in my home town, the roads are getting congested and parking etc is becoming a problem. Build more homes but spread them out and give people more space to move ( and taller garages). Me, well im moving to Northern Ireland if Johnnys right about the Guiness

I've signed it. I don't believe in building on green belt land. It's not so much a shortage of houses that we have, as a shortage of affordable houses - building hundreds or even thousands more won't change that.

There's just too many people these days - and that's a worldwide issue. The planet just doesn't have enough resources. And they say rabbits breed to much... :roll:

send them to my place. there is an 8 acre plot of wasteland at the end of my road, it used to be a speedway that closed 10 years ago. but due to planning laws it cant be used for anything other than a sports complex. we already have a leisure centre and we centainly dont want another banger racing speedway dump. there is enough deralict wasteland around the country not to have to start tucking into the good stuff just yet

Time for moving to the moon me thinks :wink: or cul the chavs, either will do 8)
