New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 40122

Received: 04/08/2021

Respondent: Mr Andrew Pugh

Representation Summary:

Environmental
• The use of green belt land erodes the rural nature of the Rayleigh conurbation.
• The proposed development CFS053 would require the removal of a well used public footpath between Wellington Rd and Albert Rd (via Napier Road).
• This would be to the detriment of the local community for the provision of health and wellbeing.

Wildlife
• Option CFS053 is frequently visited by Badgers, Foxes and occasionally Deer.
• The destruction of this habitat would be to the detriment of these creatures.

Watercourse
• The land to the rear of Nelson Road is separated from CFS053 by the beginnings of the River Roach. Any building on this land would impact this watercourse.

CFS053, CFS086, CFS027

Therefore with reference to the 'Spatial Options Consultation' can you please note my following objections:

Access
• All existing significant developments within the Rochford area (on green belt land) have immediate access to major road infrastructure.
• Examples include Eastbury Park (B1013 - Hall Rd), High Elm Park (Lower Rd) and Wolsey Park (Rawreth Ln)
• The options CFS053, CFS086, and CKS027 would require access via quite residential roads.
• This would have a severe impact on both the environment, well being of residents and traffic management.
