New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 39136

Received: 20/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Colin Burdett

Representation Summary:

There are vacant buildings in Rochford which should be developed. The old football pitches behind the old college development (College Gardens) have been unused for many years and could be developed. There is already too much traffic in Rochford/Ashingdon and the infrastructure is severely lacking (promises made for infrastructure for the Hall Road development were not met). Pollution will increase and contribute to rising health issues and greater pressure on NHS. In a world with increasing population it is vital to keep good quality agricultural land to grow food to feed the people.
