Representation Summary:

The development will disfigure the approach and exit from Rayleigh.
The development will reduce the green belt in a sensitive area between Wickford and Rayleigh, and undermine the setting of Rawreth as a seperate settlement.
It is not clear why a green buffer is required, and the remaining farmland cannot continue in arable use.
The development could still take place in this area without a long swathe of farmland being taken, if it were concentrated in the area cut in towards Rayleigh and spread westwards less.
Rawreth Hall will lose its rural setting, and become a remnant of what the area once looked like.
