Option 2a

In response to the RDC Hockley Area Action Plan 2 we have put together our thoughts to these proposals in line with your online numbering system:

1) We would like to retain the village feel but would also like to see some gradual improvements to the village centre. We can not support any of the five proposals but would like to see some of the improvements included within them.

2) We are not against studies but this is the second major study on this subject and each one adds cost to our council tax.

3) Producing a heavy weight document that prevented printing and general distribution and expecting the public to fill in a complicated online response for a second time is an unfair method of consultation. We believe the public now have consultation fatigue and will not respond in sufficient numbers.

4) One of the obvious locations for improvement is the Foundry Estate that is missing from the list.

5) Option 1. This appears to replace existing single story shops near the Factory Shop with single story shops. We believe a recent proposal to use the Factory Shop car park for a takeaway food outlet has already been turned down in the planning stage. We do not believe the parking proposals are practical and the width of Spa Road should not reduce with trees planted close to shops. We do not believe table top crossings are a good idea. They will certainly not solve the traffic issues.

6) Option 2. To just replace the Coop funeral parlour and not the other single story buildings in this are does not make sense. Additional offices are not required as there are empty units on the Foundry Estate. Existing shops should not be turned into homes. The proposed redevelopment of the existing library and health centre to provide a new combined community centre with library and health facilities should not be squeezed into the area allocated and should not include shops in this area. Consideration should be given to include and replace the Indian restaurant area and the shop opposite Walton & Stanton's to bring the building line back from the road for Spa Junction improvements. This junction should be replaced with modern computer controlled traffic lights with additional lanes. The access to the car park should be taken from Woodlands Road. A new home on Spa Road, close to the train station is unnecessary. The creation of a new parking area on the south side of the train station, for weekday commuters is a good idea but we do not believe it will be used by weekend shoppers. The vehicular drop-off and pick-up points should not be in the car park but at the station. Maybe the seating area at the side of Kilnfield House could be utilized. We do not believe the parallel parking proposals are practical and the width of Spa Road should not reduce with trees planted close to shops. Potters parking should not be changed especially as parking for flats would be necessary. If a green link walk way was created through the churchyard a crossing should be provided to cross Southend Road at its end.

Option 2a. We do not like the look of the proposed new shops and flats. They look like a bland row of characterless council homes. The sorting office area should not be used unless a replacement is built first, as we should not loose jobs unnecessarily. If the sorting office area was used the Junction of Eldon Way and Spa Road should be widened with a roundabout and Eldon way should be used to access a new free shopping car park. This also appears to replace existing single story shops near the Factory Shop with single story shops. We believe a recent proposal to use the Factory Shop car park for a takeaway food outlet has already been turned down in the planning stage. Something should be included to replace the Foundry area. The area from Walton & Stanton's to Harrison's restaurant should also be replaced and additional parking provided.


7) Option 3. To replace the relatively modern building opposite Potters that appears to be in current use makes no sense.
The proposed redevelopment of the existing library and health centre to provide a new combined community centre with library and health facilities should not be squeezed into the area allocated and should not include shops in this area. Consideration should be given to include and replace the Indian restaurant area and the shop opposite Walton & Stanton's to bring the building line back from the road for Spa Junction improvements. The shops opposite Walton & Stanton's should be replaced with homes not shops and should be accessed only from Woodlands Road. This junction should be replaced with modern computer controlled traffic lights with additional lanes. The access to the car park should only be taken from Woodlands Road. We cannot find the proposed replacement of poor quality building on Southend Road, with retail and homes to the rear. Additional offices are not required as there are empty units on the Foundry Estate. Existing shops should not be turned into homes. The replacement of the Coop is unnecessary. This also appears to replace existing single story shops near the Factory Shop with single story shops. We believe a recent proposal to use the Factory Shop car park for a takeaway food outlet has already been turned down in the planning stage. A new home on Spa Road, close to the train station is unnecessary.

Spa Junction should be replaced with modern computer controlled traffic lights with additional lanes. Potters parking should not be changed especially as parking for flats would be necessary.

Consideration should be given to include and replace the Indian restaurant area and the shop opposite Walton & Stanton's to bring the building line back from the road for Spa Junction improvements. The shops opposite Walton & Stanton's should be replaced with homes not shops and should be accessed only from Woodlands Road.

Option 3a. The new housing is provided to the north of the railway line, along Plumberow Avenue is a good idea but it would increase the traffic at the junction with Greensward Lane. We believe the new northern entrance to the train station is also a good idea.

8) Transport Options. The proposed modified roundabout would improve the situation but from schemes we have experienced of shared junctions we believe they are dangerous and should not be considered at this busy intersection. Consideration should be given to include and replace the Indian restaurant area and the shop opposite Walton & Stanton's to bring the building line back from the road for Spa Junction improvements. The shops opposite Walton & Stanton's should be replaced with homes not shops and should be accessed only from Woodlands Road. This junction should be replaced with modern computer controlled traffic lights with additional lanes. The access to the Southend Road car park should only be taken from Woodlands Road. The creation of a new parking area on the south side of the train station, for weekday commuters is a good idea but we do not believe it will be used by weekend shoppers.

We do not believe the parallel parking proposals are practical and the width of Spa Road should not reduce with trees planted close to shops. We believe the new northern entrance to the train station is also a good idea. If the sorting office area was used the Junction of Eldon Way and Spa Road should be widened with a roundabout and Eldon way should be used to access a new free shopping car park.

9) Funding & Delivery. In the current financial climate we believe this kind of development will not happen. There seems be little demand for new shops and offices and even the demand for homes is hampered by the restrictions on mortgages. Any new developments would have to be carried out by a major developer who would need to pay for any infrastructure required.

10) It took one of our members over 6 hours to make my online response to this document. This is not a fair way for the public to respond especially as this is the second consultation on this subject. We believe the public now have consultation fatigue and will not respond in sufficient numbers to get a realistic opinion.

I wish to register the following comments regarding the above consultation.

Option 1: Support.
Of the three options I would favour Option 1. I have lived in Hockley for 24 years, our three children grew up here. I love living in Hockley and would hate to see it change drastically. It is a friendly place, when you walk to "the village" (it is still widely known as "the village") people say "good morning" to each other. I am not saying it's perfect, no place is, but it would be sad to see it develop into a larger town.

Options 2, 2a, 3 and 3a: Object due to inadequate highways infrastructure.
I recognise there is a need for housing, especially affordable housing, but when developers put in housing, where are the roads and the services to go with them? I worked in Benfleet for 17 years and I always tried to avoid being on the Hockley Road between 4.30 - 6.30 p.m. There is only one road from Rayleigh - Hockley and if a lorry is parked, or a car breaks down the traffic does not move. With a new development proposed in Rochford the situation will only get worse, another 500-600 houses, with a knock on effect of up to 1000 additional vehicles. The position has eased a little with the arrival of Cherry Orchard Lane, but it's common sense to know that the planned development in Rochford will have an effect on the Hockley Road.

Options 2, 2a, 3 and 3a: Object
I have attended the Catholic Church, Pope Piux X1 since I have lived here. As a parishioner I can only see disadvantages to having a link through our Catholic Church from Spa Road to Southend Road. An alleyway could create graffiti, litter and a disruption to our Services. The number of people it may attract to park in the Library Car Park I am sure would be minimal, if people are not prepared now to walk a few steps around the Spa Pub a walk-way through the Church grounds will not encourage them to do so either. This land is owned by the Church and I sincerely hope the Church would not grant permission for this access.

I wish to register the following objections regarding the above consultation:

Chapter 4. Overarching Frame work: Object: Previous consultations have made clear that highways infrastructure improvements to the key junctions at: Spa roundabout; Eldon Way; Station Approach and Plumberow need to be determined as a precursor to any redevelopment. Insufficient attention has been paid to these key requirements.

Option 1: Object: Insufficient benefits.

Option 2a: Object: Inappropriate changes and missed opportunities.

Options 3: Object: Inappropriate changes and over development.

Options 3a: Object: Inappropriate changes and over development.

Chapter 8. Transport options: Object: Previous consultations have made clear that highways infrastructure improvements to the key junctions at: Spa roundabout; Eldon Way; Station Approach and Plumberow need to be determined as a precursor to any redevelopment. Insufficient attention has been paid to these key requirements and the sketch proposals provided have not been researched and may not be viable.

Option 2: Object: This option forms the basis of an appropriate plan but does not go far enough but support an enhanced version as follows (changes in italics):

Roads (key priority and subject to viability confirmation)

Improvements to Spa Roundabout e.g. Slip lanes or Table top crossing
Improvements to Eldon Way, Station Approach, and Plumberow junctions

Parking:

Added/Consolidated parking square behind shops on west side of Spa Road reached via Eldon Way and (if possible) Bramerton Rd
Added on-street parallel parking in Spa Road and pick-up/drop-off points both sides of Hockley Station

Building changes

Redevelop shops on Southside of Main Road, opposite Potters, to remove 'pinch -point' on B1013
Change from retail to housing at Costcutters Parade of shops
Modernised retail units with 4 flats above Seemore Glass
Modernised retail units with 2 added retail units at Factory Shop/Car park area (to remain single storey)
Redevelop Co-Op Undertakers etc and extend to join existing shops either side, removing access roads creating additional Retail
Community centre with library/health centre/shops at current library location with 13 flats and 2 retail units
2 large format retail units in Eldon Way (delete from proposals)
Replacement of one industrial building with light industry/ offices/ parking square on Eldon Way
Retail unit near station in Spa Road replaced by house
Housing on north side of Station along Plumberow Ave, to include railway drop-off point
Retail option (possibly a market) to be considered for Sorting Office site
Options for undeveloped portion of Foundry Estate to be considered.

General

Enhanced station frontage & Pedestrian link to Eldon Way (but care re safety considerations)
Enhanced shop fronts, paving and streetscape Spa Road / Main Road / Southend Road
Improved safety, consolidated and new leisure space on Eldon Way
Flexible employment opportunities, enhanced frontages to leisure/other buildings on Eldon Way
New link through Catholic Church from Spa Road to Southend Road

With all the cutbacks we are going to suffer its wonderful that there seems to be untold millions of pounds to spend on so called improvements to Hockley. Improvements that the majority of residents do not want.

Who is going to take on all these Retail Units more Charity shops maybe.

How about improving the sidewalks in Hamilton Avenue and the much needed double yellow lines at Plumbrow Primary School.

Clean up graffiti and take care of the rubbish and weeds growing from every crack.

I do not necessarily agree with the suggestion regarding the Spa Roundabout. Slip roads would probably exacerbate the situation. At a busy time the only entrance to the roundabout that can be frustrating to motorists is from Woodlands. There is a benefit to this in that the known difficulty curtails/stops 'rat' running. The rest of the roundabout runs smoothly during busy times.

The Options proposed overleaf seem a sensible and practical proposal that enhances many aspects of the village/town without removing its identity. Lets just have it tidied up and presentable and done.
