Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 17663

Received: 31/03/2010

Respondent: Mr Andrew Allen

Representation Summary:

With regards the general locations selected for the emerging core strategy. To date I have seen no evidence to inform me why the general locations selected are preffered. What makes them the best locations? and best for who (RDC residents or the planning department)? RDC have selected large sites because it is easier for them to achieve the desired number of dwellings by preffering larger sites. IRDC's prefference for larger sites does not equate to the "best" solution for the Rochford District. It has been the most convienient method for RDC planning to consider.
