Respondent: Mr Paul Endsor

Representation Summary:

I cannot disagree more strongly with the plan for this village. I have lived here for over 20 years and in that time have watched Rochford and change from a beautiful historic village to a runway surrounded by housing estates with house prices becoming so inflated by external migration that our own are unable to afford to stay in this area. To continue this rampant growth out into our surrounding villages, thus destroying outlying communities, greenbelt and wildlife, is beyond belief. Seems that the Government is talking a good environmental game but their actions say differently
