Representation Summary:

ENV2 Coastal Protection Belt - Preferred Option

We acknowledge the role of the coastal protection belt but consider that the proposed location along part of the western boundary does not conform with the local topography and has therefore included land that could be considered for part development. This could encompass local housing and the location for an additional nursery/primary school.

Land to the north west of Hullbridge could be used for formal sports pitches and informal country park and riverside walk which could be contained within the coastal protection belt. The detailed boundary of the coastal protection belt needs to be examined in relation to the topography of the land. At the detailed stage, the positioning of the coastal protection belt need to take into consideration a potential school and limited housing growth to the north west as indicated on the attached plan.
