New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021
Representation ID: 42098
Received: 03/09/2021
Respondent: Mr Simon Burdett
I refer to all options listed but more specifically to those listed below.
The Rochford district is a unique geography, occupying an isthmus that is surrounded by water on three sides. It has suffered from over development without, the accompanying infrastructure considerations. Rochford district council has presided over the the poor previous development, and has ignored all previous concerns of residents. There exists a complete lack of trust in the motivations of RDC in this process. How can you suggest further development when the impact of current proposals are not yet understood pr deliberately ignored.

I object to all of the above for the following reasons.
Location
Most of these are Green Belt, and will impact the immediate area due to lack of road infrastructure.
Highway issues. Congestion a complete lack of road development. Currently the roads are not maintained to cope with the current increasing volumes of traffic. Additionally the main arteries out of Essex are already close to maximum capacity.
Infrastructure: The council has not invested in travel alternatives like cycle ways or buses, additional development will cause further congestion and pollution.
Green Belt this is continually eroded, changing the very nature of the area, with no serious attempts at conserving nature.
Impact from other districts. These developments should not be considered in isolation of development in other districts, Southend and Castle point will also impact the Rochford district. this is a disingenuous way of consulting the residents.
