Rubbish at Undeveloped Site

Dear Residents of Norfolk Place

I received a complaint earlier on in the year about people using the development site as a refuse dump.

I immediately brought this to the attention of the Environment Team in the Council. On 8th January, an officer was out there to take pictures which were presented to the developer.

The developer has agreed to clear the rubbish and change the fencing to deter any more rubbish been thrown at the site.

Once this work is completed, the Council will monitor the site to ensure that there is no more rubbish on the site.

Thanks again to the resident who brought this to my attention.

If you have any comments please email me at: tojetola@thurrock.gov.uk or click: Cllr Tunde Ojetola

Proposed Development at Norfolk Place, Chafford Hundred

About a month ago, residents of Norfolk Place expressed concerns about any proposed developments at this site after witnessing the demolishing of the properties. I assured residents that I would chase this and respond.

Concerns about any increase in capacity are mainly due to potential over-crowding and the impact it will have on amenities (transport, healthcare, education, open space etc).

I wrote to the Planning Department of the Council to express my concerns in writing, and also contacted the developer. I sort assurance that any plans for the site did no more than replace the demolished properties like-for-like, i.e. that there is no increased accommodation.

I have today (Friday 4th Sept) received assurance from the developer that:
· there will be no increased capacity
· the plan is to replace the demolished properties
· the proposal is to build two 4-bedroom houses & one 3-bedroom house.

Cllr Veryard & I will be meeting residents tomorrow (Saturday) to discuss this further.
