The extra housing on the Hullbridge/ Rawreth borders seemed to be slipping through without any objection from Hullbridge or it’s councillors.

But there’s now a website about it at http://www.hullbridge.me/

About the author, admin

  • Michael, I’ve linked to several sites already here;

    http://www.hullbridge.me/archive.htm

    My intention is not to influence decisions but to make the site as factual and helpful as I can so anyone who looks can arrive at their own choice. Anyone is free to link to the bits I’ve put up if they think it helps their cause. I’ve always argued against nimby’ism, I just want the council to make sensible choices and I know Hullbridge has to take part of the new housing plans.

    What other site did you mean?

    I’ve done most of the work I was planning on doing now, the only other item I was going to produce was one that shows all the comments from the council relating to the 4 sites they’ve selected (which is sometimes a combination of 2 or more chunks of land from their larger 900+ page document). Then I’m probably done, the rest is down to the people of Hullbridge or anyone else that’s interested.

  • No that’s fine, in fact it soundslike a good idea. There are at least two organised groups at the moment and I just didn’t want the efforts duplicated, but that’s not the case with your site.

  • I’ve cut and pasted the info relating to Hullbridge into 1 document to try to show the ciouncils views on each site. It’s not exact because the ‘call for sites’ analysis by the council doesn’t match the info. It may help some people?

    SWH1 is the majority of ‘call for site’ 66 plus 124.
    SWH2 Is a combination of most of 66 and 124 with an extra bit in Watery lane – see my comment on this below
    SWH3 Is mainly 66,124, 15 and an extra bit near Ambleside and Windermere Roads
    SWH4 is mainly 17 and 66 with that extra bit on Watery Lane again – see below.

    I’ve arrowed a field in Watery Lane that (as far as I can see) hasn’t been the subject of any analysis by Rochford Council. I’ll try and copy the image here. If this doesn’t work and you are interested it’s on pages 38 and 50 of my hybrid document and it’s the first rectangular field on the map shown as starting in Watery Lane.

    Anyone is free to link to or use any of the bits I’ve put on the site if it helps your cause.

    That’s me done now, thanks.

  • Hullbridge Parish council expressed concerns about a number of matters relating to the development, Chiefly infrastructure and flooding. We have now adopted the position of opposing any development in the green belt in relation to the Core Strategy. For Hullbridge residents this is stated in the latest edition of “Ripples” which goes out to all Hullbridge households.

    As already stated there will be a planning team from Rochford District Council present at our next meeting on the 12th April 7.30pm at the Hullbridge Centre Windermere Ave. All concerned residents are welcome. I will do my best to allow as many of you to speak as time permits(this is part of a monthly parish meeting that includes other items for discussion). Please be assured that if you are unable to attend or do not get a chance to speak there will be other opportunities at the Village fayre and a meeting planned for July.

    Chairman Hullbridge Parish Council

  • Angelina .I believe we are on the same wavelengh re.infrastructure and flooding .As you are aware we have completed the traffic survey which we will publish probably at our next meeting .We also oppose green belt developement ,we have suggested brown field sites within our village but no ,it is so much easier for developers to use pristine green belt .

  • Could someone please send to me a copy of that traffic survey it will help Hullbridge Action Group.
    I believe that there is an hidden agenda, which is to use Lower Road and Watery Lane as the contingency route for the A127, should there be traffic congestion or worst still blockage through accident. If Watery Lane does not take place then Rawreth Lane i s the next option. We should be trying to get traffic control via chicanes, speed cameras or traffic lights to dampen drivers appetite to use us as a rat run into Southend.
