Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 25350

Received: 30/04/2010

Respondent: The National Trust Rayleigh Mount Local Committee

Representation Summary:

This prominent site presents a considerable frontage along both the A129 and the A1245. Its development for industrial/office use would be extremely detrimental visually. It would also lead to pressure in the future for release of adjoingin/nearby green belt land for development.

I therefore, object strongly to option E17 because it has no merit whatsoever. Development of this site would in the long run mark the beginning of the end for the green belt east of the A1245 in this part of Rawreth/Rayleigh. I am appalled that the local planning authority should even be considering it as an option.
