The Spatial Vision for the District does not set out concisely the role and content of this Preferred Options document. It fails to recognise that there are real and difficult decisions to be made arising out of the requirements of the Regional Spatial Strategy and PPS3 on Housing. The Core Strategy should provide a Strategic Framework for the delivery of spatial options in relation to the broad scale, distribution and location of future growth in Rochford District in relation to housing, employment, retail and other development. However, it fails to recognise that there are issues relating to the scale, location and deliverability of housing for the District having regard to the requirements of the Regional Spatial Strategy. The Council will need to decide upon a growth strategy that is robust enough to deliver anticipated housing growth in the short and particularly the medium term to deliver anticipated housing growth to meet East of England Plan delivery targets.
