Respondent: Mrs J Crichton

Representation Summary:

significant but too few. Not enough large green spaces. do not consider 30x30m a green open space. Currently most proposed sties are Green areas, whether farming or natural. If these areas are built on, then the whole dynamic, feel and hart of Rayleigh will change. It will become characterless and be swallowed up by the housing progression that runs unbroken from London to the coast. Becoming another Basildon or Romford. The rural homely feel of Rayleigh it’s importance in history for the area and what it stands for will be lost
