Re Rochford New Local Plan, Spatial Options Consultation 2021
Topic Paper 8. Heritage.
I wish to object to aspects of the plan, as follows.
Having read the document Topic paper 8, Heritage, and looked at the local spatial options plan, I note that both the Mill Hall area COL07 and the Civic Suite area COL20 are both included in the local plan as future sites for development. (Blue edged and shaded blue on the map)
Both these sites are situated within Rayleigh’s conservation area, and currently not assigned for residential use.
The Mill Hall site COL07 includes a listed building (the historic Windmill) and an environment of historic importance (Rayleigh castle mount). The site currently includes green areas and trees. This very important amenity is Rayleigh’s heritage and as the term implies must be conserved for the people of Rayleigh.
The Civic suite area COL20 faces on to Rayleigh’s grade 2 *listed Parish Church. Development of this site would detract from the local environment, with loss of green space and trees.
Both areas are valued as open spaces with important heritage significance. They are protected by being in the conservation area.
