This Policy relates to a site located to the north of Rochford with good links to the town centre and the train station.
This site is currently surrounded by residential to the north, south and west and would result in the 'squaring of' of the existing settlement, which would establish a defensible boundary, and coincide with eastern edge of the existing residential areas to the north and south. This would enable the eastern boundary to line up with The Drive (to the south), improving the sites connectivity to the existing areas.
Support the approach detailed in paragraph 3.221; however, notwithstanding the site been safeguarded to 2021, in accordance with the 'plan, monitor, manage' approach, the site could be delivered early in order to meet the Districts 5-year housing supply.
The eastern boundary would consist of a natural / semi-natural greenspace in order to create a defensible boundary to the Green Belt. This greenspace would be publicly accessible and would accommodate a Greenway (incorporating pedestrian and cycle routes), linking St Edmunds school (to the north), with the town centre (to the south).
In addition, to the natural / semi-natural greenspace within the development there would be appropriate located and designed play facilities located throughout the site.
