Representation ID: 43901

Respondent: Mr and Mrs C & A Malyon

Number of people: 2

Representation Summary:

I object to site COL7 (Mill Hall, car park and green) and also site COL20 Civic Suite with landscape gardens to the rear being included in the local plan as a future residential development site.

We need to preserve the green areas and trees on both sides. This is a conservation area, with mature trees and open spaces owned by the public. This would make is unacceptable for use as a residential area.

The loss of public car parking within COL7, COL20 would be detrimental to our town centre in Rayleigh.

I also object to the loss of a major community centre at Mill Hall, it brought people in from other areas and visitors who spent money in the town and could enjoy the beautiful windmill and church. Also the area is of great historic value and should be preserved.
