Comment
Rochford District Core Strategy Regulation 26 Draft

I strongly support policies to protect all special landscape areas, ancient woodlands and coastal marshes. My only comment is that the statement on undeveloped coat should be worded more strongly. Many undesirable developments will argue that they "require a coastal location". These could include for example major expansion of port facilities (Wallasea- for which ex. roads are completely inadequate) or unacceptable marina developments.The strategy should make clear that protection policies will take precedence.
