Lower Rainham has significant traffic problems. When I commuted from Kemsley Paper mill to Rainham I was always stuck at the traffic lights through to Mierscourt Road.The Leigh Academy has resulted in parents parking on Lonsdale drive to meet their children from this school due to insufficient parking nearby. Anything goes wrong on the M2 and this area log jams.
It may be high value allocation for people, but the northern most field (previous pear orchard now meadow) supports rare red shanked carder bees, solitary bees, butteflies and a large white dead nettle and other plants extremely beneficial to pollinators.

.. and yet you persist in developing the area. Congestion at the junction of Pump Lane/lower rainham road is dire. 'Good day' Traffic analysis shows the bad effects of the bottle neck at the adjacent traffic lights made worse by the inclusion of the new development and as far as a I can see no traffic analysis has been published for the consultation at the junction of beechings way/pump lane adjacent to a single lane under a bridge which would be crippled by the inclusion of additional housing, a huge secondary and additional primary school.
