Hockley Area Action Plan Options Report
Representation ID: 26619
Received: 18/01/2011
Respondent: Mr Paul Sealey
I am pleased to see that the principles seem to more closely reflect the views of local residents than the previous plan. I would suggest strengthening bullet point 7 under Land uses and activities to limit the size of retail units to avoid attracting large national chains and encourage new and different types of outlet not found in nearby towns. These will encourage people to come to Hockley and go some way to reverse the 'leakage' to other areas.
