New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 39394

Received: 21/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Martin Smith

Representation Summary:

The areas prefixed CFS260 are key to maintaining the rural nature east of Rochford. The land is green belt and agricultural. This landscape is largely unchanged since the 17th century and is essential to the view from Southend across the Roach Valley. Once lost it cannot be recreated. Development on any but the margins of these areas would change the entire character of the landscape. It is particularly important to maintain the separation of these areas from Great Wakering and Southend.

The site at CFS103 was rejected for planning less than two years ago and should not be included again
