Respondent: Mrs Barbara Oliver-Mayho

Representation Summary:

While this station may not be particularly special to look at, it does most certainly have historical interest and therefore I feel should be included on the list.

Respondent: Louis Drive Estate Residents Association

Representation Summary:

The station buildings have a varied roof line which adds to the character and are very much part of the sky line. In the history of the railway surely the building plays a part

Respondent: Rayleigh Town Council

Representation Summary:

Disagree - it is of CONSIDERABLE local historical significance as the railway was responsible for changing Rayleigh fron an agricultural village to a prosperous residential Town. For consistency if Rochford Railway Station (page 251) IS included why not Rayleigh (and Hockley) The 2 storey house on the right was the Station masters house.

Reasons why Rayleigh railway station should be included in the Local List.:

1). The railway had a dramatic effect on the development of Rayleigh, driving the change from a small market town to a large commuter town.

2). The station is used by a huge chunk of the population of Rayleigh every working day, so the appearance of the buildings/platforms has a considerable impact on their perception of the town.

3). The station has already suffered some degradation (e.g. the horrible modern porch outside the main entrance, which is utterly out of keeping). Without some protection, the whole appearance is likely to be gradually changed out of all recognition.
