The council rejected the development plans. West Sumners stays protected thanks to all 605 of you. Stay alert for future threats.

The current plans show the destruction of an area of woodland that dates back hundreds of years and is home to deer, bats, owls, foxes, snakes, water voles and more. We do not want to see this destroyed.
We feel that this is the wrong place for such a large development as it is not near any motorways or train stations. The increase in traffic would jam our already busy roads and our facilities such as schools, doctors and local hospital could not cope.
We call on Harlow and Epping Forest councils to not grant any planning application for a development. We ask that the developers amend their plans accordingly.

The local wildlife impact is the main concern being raised in every conversation I have. We are continuing to press the council for real answers about these preservation plans.

I rent one of the little shops, yet i have had no one contact me about what I would have to do. Sumners doesnt need expanding it need some tlc
I live at the end of Phelips road and the last thing I want is traffic wizzing past my front door and the beautiful countryside to disappear so we can have a housing estate on our doorstep.
Having reviewed the options I do not believe the West Sumners option is the right choice. I do not want to see the woodland and countryside destroyed, and do not believe there is sufficient infrastructure in place to accommodate such large development.
I feel the increase in traffic would cause many problems, these were country roads, Hoddesdon is causing many problems already with all the industrial area which has been built. Locally the hospital and Doctors would not be able to cope. The area is Green Belt which is shrinking all the time. This ancient woodland and countryside needs not to be destroyed by developers The woodland is home to many animals and this would be terrible to destroy. This area is under increasing challenges and I feel enough is enough We need open places for our children and future generations.
I don't believe in developing on green belt land. Our local wildlife is already under stress. It's also already a nightmare trying to get to work in the mornings !

Hospitals and schools cannot cope with current levels of population in and around Harlow , so how can this go ahead ?
