Rochford District Core Strategy Regulation 26 Draft

Representation ID: 331

Received: 02/07/2007

Respondent: Mr Ivor Jones

Representation Summary:

The Council should resist the imposition by central Government of ill-conceived house-building targets, the justification for which is extremely dubious.Other Councils in more influential parts of the south-east will shout louder and no doubt win concessions which will place yet greater pressure on areas like Rochford.
You should emphasize that Rochford is outside the Thames Gateway, and therefore should have less development.
