Although the 5 purposes of the green belt are sound the interpretation by council is flawed in the case of land north of london road .This fulfills all the criteria but rochford council believe it should be developed before exploring alternatives put forward by landowners and Rawreth Parish Council .The land in question gives a wide vista and pleasing gateway to Rayleigh whilst being in the main highly productive . This may be the easy option but in the future food security will become a new global problem.You cannot grow food on concrete.
