Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 18405

Received: 26/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Hilary Flisher

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to the council's proposal to create a travellers site close to London Road Rayleigh. It would be better if the existing small illegal site along the old A130 were made legal, and then this would come close to meeting the area target, and the remainder of the allocation could be in a more rural part of the Rochford council area. Placing it on the London Road close to a school and established residential areas would have a grave and adverse effect on residents, with major concerns about crime.
