Respondent: Mr D A Harris
I fully support Rochford District Council's view of maintaining strategic buffers as listed in the Preferred Options Draft. It is very important that these buffers are well protected where they are located next to the boundaries with other districts as the policies of the other districts might well include development up to the district boundary. Notice how the Shotgate Industrial Estate reaches right up to the boundary between Rochford District and Basildon District to illustrate the importance of this point. The list of strategic buffers should therefore include "Shotgate & Rawreth (the area around the southern part of the boundary with Basildon Disctrict Council)".
It is very important to maintain a strategic buffer with Castle Point District all the way along the A127 to the west of the Rayleigh Weir underpass as it is quite probable that development of parts of the Thundersley Lake District (which is just to the south of the A127) may be allowed by Castle Point Borough Council.
