Strongly support.
Character of place is affected not only by the style of development, but the sheer amount of it.
Taking Rayleigh as an example, locations can be full of character even if they are not historic - for example, the Pond House in Down Hall Road, and the attractive vista created by the trees when you are coming up the High Road.
Development in Rayleigh has already spread out so far that its identity is being eroded; I have noticed that some residents at the western extremes don't really feel to be part of the town.
