Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document
Representation ID: 21676
Received: 28/04/2010
Respondent: Aber Ltd
Agent: Colliers International
This option is located to the north of Rochford with good links to the town centre and the train station.
This option is currently surrounded by residential to the north, south and west and would result in the 'squaring of' of the settlement, which would have a defensible boundary, and coincide with eastern edge of the existing residential areas to the north and south. This would enable the eastern boundary to line up with The Drive (to the south), improving the sites connectivity to the existing areas.
There appears to be a contradiction as the text in the final sentence of the last paragraph on page 44 of the Consultation Document, advises that the proposal does not follow an established boundary so it would be difficult to establish a defensible boundary. However, with this option the eastern boundary of the site could be formed by an area of linear planting, which would also accommodate a Greenway (incorporating pedestrian and cycle routes), linking St Edmunds school (to the north), with the town centre (to the south), improving the accessibility to the school by means other than private car.
In addition, this option which would generate 500 new dwellings would provide additional customers to the retail premises located to the south on Ashingdon Road.
