Core Strategy Submission Document

Representation ID: 16040

Received: 28/10/2009

Respondent: Rochford & District Chamber of Trade & Commerce

Representation Summary:

The minimum amount of land should be allocated for development. Agree, rural diversification should be encouraged. The council should work more with landowners and the rural economy to promote and support more employment. This has been a growth area in recent years and could be better promoted contrary to the statement made on Page 66/para 6.9.
Only when every effort has been made to identify brown field sites for development should green belt land be released.
