Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 9286

Received: 28/04/2009

Respondent: Barratt Eastern Counties

Agent: Kember Loudon Williams Ltd

Representation Summary:

Option 1.1

The additional residential units proposed under this option would inevitably lead to the loss of employment land. However, for the reasons noted elsewhere in these representations that would not be a sustainable approach. Residents would need to commute out of Hockley to access any replacement employment sites thus contributing to car journeys. The customer base, which the town centre relies on, would also be undermined.
