Received: 28/10/2009
Respondent: Mr H Snell
Agent: Capita Symonds
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
The document does not refer to any preliminary Habitat Regulation Assessment (HRA) work and there is no acknowledgement of an HRA on the Council's website and or from speaking to the Council's Planning Policy team. In the absence of any initial HRA work and given the proximity of growth locations to the SPA and SAC sites in Rochford at this late stage of the document preparation, it is questionable that the strategy can be delivered. Can the proposed strategy (in particular policies H2 and H3) be delivered without an adverse affect on European Habitats?
