No development should be allowed that impacts on greenbelt land. Option WH2 is the only acceptable one. The agricultural land between Folly Chase and Hockley primary school is not disused. I walk my dog around this part of the Millenium Walk every day and there are crops grown in these fields every year. The impact on Hockley Primary School and it's affects on the quality of the pupils environment and education must also be taken into account when considering developement in this area.

No, I am of the view Hockley is currently reaching maximum development, and untill the roads, in particular, are developed to handle the volume current volume of traffic that not only services Hockley/Hawkwell, but is taking traffic that is avoiding the A127 congestions between Rayleigh and Southend, to get to Rochford, Ashingdon and Southend/Southend Airport. Cherry Orchard Lane has been upgraded, but it has increased traffic through Hockley. New Roads must be developed, that are feeder roads to RDC towns, and are free from houses, industrial estates, etc., hence allowing traffic to clear the area smoothly and efficiently.

Should develope sites where there is less impact on current town area, but they should also have acces to transport and do not require more roads/access implications.

50 extra dwellings in either locations WH1 or WH2 would be definitely be a big mistake. Access through Folly Lane can be difficult at the best of times owing to the bends and parked cars, and 50extra houses could make traffic flow very difficult particularly at peak times. I fear the present problem of cars travelling down Fountain Lane the wrong way will only get worse.

Option WH2 has the least impact on 'green space' and is the best. There are a number of footpaths in the vicinity which should be protected. Alternatively build on part of the Library car park (Woodpond Ave, side) leaving spaces for Library, Doctors, and Day Centre. Replace the lost parking spaces by combining 'Alldays' and Co-op parking areas and extending into the rear of Eldon Way. Another option convert the part completed office block opposite Kilnfield House to flats.

Ooptions WH1, WH3 and WH4 should be rejected because of access problems and the risk of development 'creep' into adjacent land. If WH2 can meet the need for 50 dwellings then WH5 is unnecessarily encroaching on green belt land. However, the issue of access in WH2 must be resolved.
Options WH1, WH3 and WH4 would create significant access problems. Moreover I do not believe any of them would offer a defensible green belt boundary and there would be pressure to extend into adjacent land, further exacerbating access problems. None of these 3 options should be taken forward. Whilst WH2 does not encroach onto green belt, access to the site is severely limited and would need to be addressed before any development is permitted. However, if it can accommodate the proposed number of dwellings why does WH5 apparently increase the development land? Perhaps a revised version of WH5 with smaller link to Church Road would suffice

WH1 is the best option. im particularly concerned with how the current social/community facilities and transport network will accommodate such a development. I note that this is also a concern raised in this report ('The location of the site with regard to impact on surrounding roads needs to be assessed -improvements will be needed to cope with the increase in traffic')
I am opposed to any general use of existing green belt land.

Option WH2 is the least intrusive on the green belt and therefore from my point of view the best out of the 5 options provided.

None of these are appropriate as they are all on green belt land. Development should only be on existing sites where, like the one at the top of Church Road that has been halted due to the lack of interest

All options, with the exception of wh2, are inappropriate, because of the encroachment onto green belt land and woods etc. This land is used by dog walkers, families and most importantly school children from the local school, who aretaken on nature walks onto and through this land, at all times of the year. The increase in traffic and access to these sites would also have a huge impact. These options are impractical at the least, and harmful to our ever decreasing countryside.

Whilst there is no objection to testing these sites as reasonable options for West Hockley these are not exclusively the right options. Rochford Council has been premature to consult only on these sites as the 'right' options in advance of the Core Strategy examination and adoption. There are alternative reasonable and sustainable sites to the west of Hockley which should be included, consulted on and tested as part of this Development Plan Document. This situation could be addressed by further issues and options consultation on sites under Regulation 25 following the Core Strategy examination and adoption.

I live in Chevening Gardens and I have been totally kept in the dark about a plan to drive a road through Chevening Gardens and build 50 houses,effectively in the school playing field. The extra traffic involved would make access to the school virtually impossible and extremely dangerous for the large number of children trying to access the school.
The infrastructure in the village cannot support the residents already living there.
Hockley school has for many years has benifited from a rural outlook. Why subject the children to a building site as their neighbour when there are other more suitable alternatives?

Considering that we have not been given notice of these plans through individual consultation it is difficult to believe that this site would be of consideration. There is limited access to the site from either possible access points. The development of this site would be detremental to the education facilities that exist as with transport and medical.

This afternoon I received notice through my letter box indication that you are considering building 50 houses on farm land at the rear of HOCKLEY Primary School.
Furthermore I had until 5pm today to place my objection online. Firstly I do not own a computer, and secondly when did you decide you were thinking about this development - its the first time I have heard about it so much for consultation! The nearness to the school, community centre, public walk ways to the church are just 3 reasons alone for a rejection of this development. There are more.
The present Govermnent have decided they want to join this area to East London through their so called 'Thames Gateway' scheme. Hockley, Rochford, Rayleigh, and the surrounding villages are now more or less joined to Southend. Leave us here some pleasurable walks, open countryside and no more concrete we have enough. So Rochford Council think again about this and if ou decide on bull-dozing the trees in Hockley Woods down to the ground for more houses. Kindly give us plenty of warning - we would like to have a say in the matter.
Trust you are considering the many 'brownfield' sites.
