Misrepresentation of Evidence
DPD is not legal because - The HAAP consultations have misled residents by misrepresenting evidence regarding the Retail and Leisure Study documented view on Hockley's development potential and as to whether HAAP should conform with Core Strategy, Rochford council appears to have totally ignored the responses to 2009 and 2010 HAAP, and appears to have pre-determined the future of Hockley around the requirement for a large supermarket development regardless of other alternatives resulting from resident's input. There is no oblivious objectively assessed traffic development and trafic infrastructure requirements resulting in constructive traffic proposals for the area. This being an area which many residents within the local community recognised as needing to be addressed in the earlier responses. Moreover the consultation process has discriminated against Hockley compared to Rochford and Rayleigh Area Action Plans by pre-defining the outcome and limiting time available.
