I strongly disagree with the Spindlewood Drive (BEX9-site ref BX116) development of 160 properties because

(i) The existing infrastructure (i.e. A259 and the feeder/access roads to BX116, schools and GP surgery) are running now at very full capacity and more housing on Spindlewood Drive site and any adjoining green fields t BX116 will put unbearable and unreasonable loads and stress on these existing facilities and therefore disadvantage all residents in this area of Little Common, particularly those living near BX116 i.e. Meads Road, Maple walk, Maple Avenue, Clavering Walk, Cooden Sea road and of course Spindlewood Drive. BX116 will significantly increase traffic (private and commercial) flows causing unreasonable noise and vibration, increased air pollution disadvantaging residents who moved to this area to enjoy the calm and tranquillity and clean air.

(ii) As the access route to BX116 is via Cooden Sea Road, via Meads Road and Spindlewood Drive, I can foresee that due to increased traffic flows and congestion, drivers will use Maple Walk, Maple Avenue and Clavering Walk as "rat-runs" causing other residents massive inconvenience and stress.

(iii) My wife and I retired to this area (to get away from high density, noisy and polluted urbanised live we lived in before) and any high density development in BX116 and adjoining fields will significantly undermine our quality of life and affect our health and wellbeing.

(iv) My preferred sits for development should be the NBAR site (BX124) and/or the Northeye site BX101.
