Rochford District Core Strategy Regulation 26 Draft

Representation ID: 578

Received: 03/07/2007

Respondent: Mrs H Springham

Representation Summary:

Affordable housing - This should be for those intended for. Not as with Coppice Gate, bought and then rented out.

Full text:

The 900 houses already built - The majority of these are in Rayleigh. These should be taken into accuont when sharing the additional houses in the area.

Rayleigh is already overdeveloped. As quoted in the RDC Planning Policy - re Rawreth - 'any new dwellings would have a detrimental effect on the visual appearance of the Green Belt and the existing open character'.

I strongly object to the plan of 1800 being built in the Rayleigh area. It is far too many.

I understand the 'East of England Plan' is not yet policy therefore all this extra housing may not be needed!

Rayleigh cannot cope with this much extra housing ie roads, schools, doctors, etc, etc, etc.

I hope at the next Council meeting the local councilors will represent their residents rather than their party policy!
