New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 38711

Received: 11/09/2021

Respondent: John Gamage

Representation Summary:

The ridge of high ground to the south of Rayleigh, behind Spring Gardens and High Mead, and leading onto Great Wheatley road should be protected due to its unique unspoilt landscape, forming the backdrop to the historic centre of Rayleigh.
The view from the west along the A127, shows clearly this unspoilt ridge and the church and windmill.
We must not let this special landscape be lost to speculative development.
