Hockley Area Action Plan Options Report

Representation ID: 26499

Received: 17/12/2010

Respondent: Ms Jean Townsend

Representation Summary:

Option 3 is 'brownfield' shops, offices, leisure and housing. It can be the same as the new terrace next to the Spa and Spa House.

At a meeting of Hockley Residents' Association on 14 November I and a few other people voted for Option 3 but a quite forceful majority decided upon Option 2. I am told that the existing inidustrial units on the Eldon Way estate are unsound and inadequate. It seems the responsible choice to replace them with the residential development proposed in Option 3. We can thereby use 'brownfield' for new housing instead of the green belt elsewhere. I do not agree with the proposals for Plumberow Avenue contained in Option 3A. If Hockley is to be redeveloped at all it is worth doing a high quality, comprehensive, good looking and careful job of work. Please do not permit any WHITE UPVC.
