Use of misleadng descriptions do not encourage onfidence in this process.
Development along Rectory Rd, Hawkwell will create a continuous urbanisation with no Green Corridors.
The combined impact on Hockley is not considered. Hockley is in a pivital position and extra traffic will create delays.
Developments are proposed for:
"Rayleigh and Hullbridge" which are actually in Raweth;
"Ashingdon" which are in Rochford
"South Hawkwell" which are in West HawkwellThe CS is misleading to the public and mis-represents the proposals, which could lay it open to future legal challenge.
Several proposed sites (eg Rawreth, Canewdon) are not within easy reach of retail centres and do not have public transport.
Development along Rectory Road, Hawkwell . This will create a continuous urbanisation from Hockley, through Hawkwell, into Ashingdon and Rochford with no green corridors as required by RDC policy.
Railway bridges across the district provide numerous bottle necks. The traffic light controlled bridge by St May'' Church, Rectory Road, Hawkwell is a particular concern. Delays there are likely to result in more traffic going through Hockley.
