Objections to Harold Wood Hospital Site Development

It has now been established that Havering Council have approved the building of 450 new homes on the old Harold Wood Hospital site. The owner and builder of the properties will be Countryside Properties.

Following a brief consultation exercise it has also come to light that Countryside have acquired additional land and intend to apply for planning permission to build a further 424 homes on the site.

Therefore the village of Harold Wood will become home for 2000 more people, 1500 cars and many other problems.
Countryside Properties do not intend to have any new school, doctors, dentists or any other new service, except a bus route.

This will cause not only further delay in receiving medical attention but you will be sitting in your cars longer as the increase in traffic will ensure that Harold Wood becomes the new free car park for Havering Council.

I am asking that residents let the authorities know of any objections or even congratulations they may have to the plan.

I hope that the petition will gather enough objections to at least ensure that some sense will be made of any development.

Thank you for taking the time to show your feelings.
