am writing to object very strongly to the plans to use conservation areas in Rayleigh for housing development. SiteCOLO7( Mill Hall, car park and green) and SiteCOL20 (Civic Suite with gardens) are both conservation areas and are NOT suitable for housing development.
The Mill Hall should be made more sustainable( I understand a free survey has been offered by a charitable organization) and the Civic Suite should be kept for the present amenities that it serves. That is, the CAB who have now had to move to Basildon! What use is that for the people of Rayleigh? Also the OACS Counselling Service who have had to close and now have no premises at a time when this service is more urgently required. Think again about what you are planning for the people of Rayleigh and listen to what we residents are urging you NOT to do.
