Rochford District Core Strategy Regulation 26 Draft

Representation ID: 21

Received: 02/06/2007

Respondent: Mr & Mrs Norman

Representation Summary:

Having recently bought a house in the district for its rural location, backing on to open farm land, and having moved from a far densely populated area, I am horrified to discover that the council is considering using areas of greenbelt land on the edge of existing residential areas for development. This would ruin the nature of such areas that are tranquil and desirable for that very reason. I agree that the council should use existing brown field sites in preference however and disgusted that some green belt land might be used.
