This proposal is far too large, there is no thought about adequate infrastructure. The additional traffic generated by the new housing will , with other developments in the area (like what is proposed in and around Kelvedon and Feering) will swamp any improvements made to the A 120 and A12, will have to build M12 first.

No apparent thought to infrastructural planning. The A12 can not cope with volumes already.

Totally agree with CAUSE's aims - large scale development must be well-planned and not led by individual landowners or developers

What idiot decided to build 20,000 houses next to the worst road in Essex!

A complete travesty breaking all recognised planning rules. Infrastructure totally inadequate at present without this development.

Insufficient infrastructure for any of the proposals involving any villages within this area.

Not enough facilities to accommodate so many new p from meroperties and families and to take farmland is a definite NO

We do not have resources and amenities to accommodate so many houses and families

The knock on effect of this stupid plan , will be absolutely devastating

Quite mad. The infrastructure can not support this size of development, the roads cannot cope, the railways cannot cope and there are no plans to create jobs. With the farmland gone, just where will the food be grown to suopport this number of people.

Where are they going to work, there are very few jobs in this area. The local infrastructure can only just cope now.

If this were to be built, the entire infrastructure would break down, villages would no longer be villages and people's lives would change and not for the better

We already have infrastructure overload. Brown field (ex industrial or docklands) sites in Essex are a positive alternative.

Development no longer evolves, growing with a community and responding to the landscape. Now it devastates it, identikit developments of poorly built developments by over promising and under delivering developers? They infill and suffocate existing settlements. Development even on a mass scale has to respond to the landscape and care for the environment. Weather we all recognise it or not access to and enjoyment of green space, country side is vital to our health. Are we to become a nation of ugly settlements where we exist only and then travel to designated preserved conservation areas and country parks to realise what we have lost and what we actually need? We did enough damage in the post war years. New homes should be build with greater sensitivity, respect for existing character and landscape and attention to detail.

The local infrascture, especially the single-lane A120 and the already packed A12 cannot being to support an increase in population of this size.

I object to this proposal for all the obvious reasons. Lack of facilities, congestion, shortage of school places, doctors, parking, destruction of countryside etc. etc. the list is endless...

I cannot believe that any one would contemplate mass development in historic rural villages such as Easthorpe.

The A12 and train service will not be able to cope
