There is a major flaw in all of these plans in that the basic principal of the Governement being the agency to represent the will of the people has basically been inverted and ignored - Rochford is an unusual District Council/Historic Hundred in that over 50% of the land mass is unsuitable for any kind of heavy building and or housing and is a place that you have to want to visit as it isnt on the road to anywhere (as evidenced by the fact that the District has no major roads or infrastructure (Hospitals, Theatres, Major Sporting Venues). The whole input of this plan is being imposed by government targets rather than the economics of the area.
