Requirements for additional land for education, churches and leisure/community use does not appear to have been considered for inclusion in the document
If substantial areas of new housing are concentrated in some areas, there will also be the need for even more land to be 'set aside' for the provision of schools, churches, leisure/community centres, etc. Provision of small, local shopping areas may also be required to satisfy the requirements of those without access to adequate transport; this would include the elderly, but may also include mothers with small children whose husband/partner has taken the family car to get to work. In June 2007, parents are already struggling to get places for their children in good schools in the Rochford area and this is even more acute in the area of nursery education
