I am concerned about the following and this is an outline of my points in reference to the application and this is my representation: Pollution, air quality, additional roads congestion, cost benefit ratio of the scheme, embodied carbon, location of the scheme, lack of public transport along this new roads corridor linking Essex with Kent, lack of local roads connectivity with this scheme, safety of this roads programme, the lack of rail freight accessibility along this new linkage, problems with existing local fauna and flora, ecology, prohibition of cyclists, SUDS drainage, the loss of current green space and accessibility, the loss of prime farmland and the cost and magnitude of the project. Additionally I wish to make a representation concerning the ethos and thought processes regarding further road construction which are potentially harmful to society and naturally future generations. Thank you. Simon Johnson
