New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 41000

Received: 16/08/2021

Respondent: Sasha Egan

Representation Summary:

I have just reviewed your interactive map and I am appalled by the clear documenting to any developer in the country to ride in and apply to build all over any tiny bit of green space we have in rochford.

Rochford has always been semi-rural as a district, particularly in areas such as Stambridge. I am so disappointed to see every field that a house could be squeezed onto, is highlighted and offered up as a potential to be developed.

I understand you have targets and that sites should be offered before they are taken by central government, but we cannot turn England into concrete city.

There is already uproar about the potential (and likely) development off of ashingdon road, rochford itself cannot withstand such proposals (roads, doctors, dentists, schools) and overdevelopment is looking to be a real issue.

Surely having over 1000 holes built (hall road + ashingdon road) in such a short space of time should be enough! Leave rochford alone for 10 years, the poor animals and our environment! It’s devastating.
