To: Cllr. Jim Ketteridge, Leader of Uttlesford District Council and Leader of Uttlesford District Council's ruling Conservative councillors.
I/We call upon the Conservative councillors who are responsible for running Uttlesford District Council to reconsider their preferred option of a 3,000-home new town between Elsenham and Henham, or any large-scale developments options until there are proper studies on the impact on these communities.
The Elsenham new town would be bigger than Stansted Mountfitchet is today and would rely on roads planned for a second runway at Stansted Airport. Large housing numbers added to any community in Uttlesford would be too much of a burden on our existing infrastructure.
The Council should think again and plan properly where Uttlesford's new housing should be located.
