The statement that "the only long-term option for Rochford District is to try and reduce the need to travel by car and promote the use of alternative methods of transport" reflects Government guidance is welcomed. Unfortunately it has not been applied to Policy H2 which identifies land for residential development at Canewdon despite it being classed as a Small Rural Settlement which is isolated, has few services and public transport provision is poor. The same comment can be applied to a lesser extent to the proposed large scale expansion of the second tier settlements of Hullbridge and Great Wakering.
