Rochford Area Action Plan Submission
Representation ID: 32786
Received: 13/09/2013
Respondent: Natural England
We welcome the objectives of the AAP including improved accessibility for all, recognising the need to enhance linkages to public open space such as the area adjacent to Bradley Way.
We support policies which encourage developers to promote cycling and walking and improve links to the town centre and open space for non car users.
Natural England generally welcomes the policies presented within the AAP particularly where these seek to improve the public realm and promote landscape and environmental enhancements including access to open space.
Natural England welcomes the promotion of unused, underused or unattractive sites for development; however, in line with the NPPF only those sites which are not of high environmental value should be developed.
