Rochford District Core Strategy Regulation 26 Draft

Representation ID: 275

Received: 29/06/2007

Respondent: Mr Clive Hopkins

Representation Summary:

I believe that putting 1800 houses to the west of Rayleigh will be so intrusive that the policy of stategic gaps is non viable - they will be non existant. further the policy states that one of the gaps will be between Rayleigh and Rawreth but does not mention a gap between Rawreth and Wickford. Wickford has already expanded and virtually joins Basildon so as it is not mentioned is it open for Rawreth to join Wickford making one large housing estate from Rawreth lane to Basildon town centre
