The proposal will cut a piece of land from Thames Chase forest (the Pike Lane site). I am a regular user of this site. There will be a new road creating more noise. I object to the removal of established woodlands - these cannot be replaced with any amount of 'mitigation.' Also, traffic along the A127 will increase, with associated noise and pollution. The whole area will be polluted by fumes from vehicles. It is probably too late to make this point: nowhere have rail routes been considered to ease traffic at Dartford.
