Core Strategy Submission Document

Representation ID: 16099

Received: 29/10/2009

Respondent: Rochford & District Chamber of Trade & Commerce

Representation Summary:

In the absence of the SHLAA, (which has not yet been published), the Chamber supports minimum development of the green belt. Every effort must be made to identify brown field sites. It is felt that the allocation of the number of dwellings proposed for the settlement of Rochford is disproportionately high compared to that of other major settlements, i.e. Rayleigh/Hockley/Hawkwell. Access to parts of the green belt would be advantageous, promoting a more healthy lifestyle.
