Representation Summary:

Members strongly object to development west of Church Road as it considers that there would not be a defensive Green Belt boundary which could then lead to further development in the future. Members felt that Anchor Lane and Church Road provide a strong defensible boundary and that development should be restricted to the east of Church Road.

Members felt that the highway network was working at full capacity at present and that future development could bring the district to a standstill.

The Parish Council is disappointed that, following consultation with parishioners in 2010 as to their preferred site for development, these views have not been considered by the District Council.

Members strongly object to development west of Church Road as it considers that there would not be a defensive Green Belt boundary which could then lead to further development in the future. Members felt that Anchor Lane and Church Road provide a strong defensible boundary and that development should be restricted to the east of Church Road.

Concerns were raised regarding the highway capacity throughout the whole district if all the proposed development was to be undertaken. Members felt that the highway network was working at full capacity at present and that future development could bring the district to a standstill.

Representation Summary:

The vicarage is also Grade II listed, along with Whitehouse Farm in Lark Hill Road, which would front the development, you say you want to be sympathetic to these buildings but why even build near them when there are better allocations in Canewdon, especially when the parish council are totally against building on church land. The lane going to St Nicholas's church also serves a working farm which has substantial heavy plant machinery travelling up and down which would not be good for the proposed development/residents. No main drainage west of the church road and poor surface water drainage .

Full text:

I strongly object to this proposed site in Canewdon. This site chosen by the council is on elevated land, which would make the development look top heavy, and would surround and dwarf the view of the church which is a well known and iconic view, and is a gradeii star listed building, you can't make this view look better it can only look worse with houses.When you drive down Scotts Hall road the view of the church will be ruined, the existing housing is already dense around the church, and this is only going to add to the situation. This allocation was never the preferred site.

There is no need for more housing in this area. I'm already in dispute with the council over the housing planned on hall road. This area is not able to handle the traffic and it will increase danger to the public on the road. If more houses are needed then free up the houses taken by foreigners living on benefits that we pay for. They can go back home and our people, working people can have the homes. There is no need for more houses!!!!!!!!!

I do not think this should go ahead as it is not in keeping with the village and the council will surely overstretch its resources to provide for that many extra homes.

Full text:

I do not believe this development would be of any benefit to the village or for any people who may plan to move into these new developments. Canewdon is not a commuter village as other towns nearby like Rochford, Hockley, Ashingdon and even Southend have more than enough space and the necessary services to provide for more housing. Canewdon is a small isolated place that would suffer with an increase in it's population. The roads would need far more upkeep than they currently get, the bus service would have to be greatly improved, recycling and waste disposal would have to be increased. All of these factors surely would cancel out the need for further development? Can the local school handle a much greater influx of children? Will nearby secondary schools be happy to provide bus services for extra pupils should it be needed?
All this just adds to the fact that although the planned site appears that it won't overly encroach on the sight of the church or the views over the farmers fields it undoubtedly will. It will add more congestion to an already small and unfit access road that leads to the church and will make the crossroads on the entrance to the village look like an urban environment rather than a village in the countryside.
Basically I do not think this proposition would be good for the village or in keeping with it's aesthetic.

The reason for my objection to the proposal is that it will impact on the immediate area of the village, spoil the view of the church both from the south but also the view in the opposite direction ie looking south over the Thames estuary.
Historically the church has been the central focus of the village and on the southern approach to the village the view of the church should remain unimpeded.

The proposal is unacceptable on numerous grounds.
Land on the eastern boundary has been subject to subsidence in the past, and no survey has identified this. There would be a possible impact on the structural integrity of existing homes and garages bordering the site. Further west the land is green belt, and the development would have a massively detrimental effect on the character, environment and wildlife of the village - even the development plan identifies the 'sensitive' topography of the site and its proximity to the church and listed buildings.
Finally, the development would hugely affect the value of neighbouring properties.

The proposed development site will destroy the village appeal
On approaching canewdon village from either Scott's hall lane or lark hill road the church creates an imposing visual impression, encompassing, in one glance country life. The one track country lane, flanked on both sides by green fields, leads us to our church. You only need take a brief stroll up the lane to be transported back in time, with views across the grassland towards the church

Greenfield land
Raised preposed building site instead of low lying land
Sewage and water pressures
Environmental Impact
An average of at least 120 cars.
Visual Impact on the Village and Church.
Public services

Full text:

.Greenfield land should not be built on especially as it can/is used for farming. The sewage system and water pressure will be extremely impacted especially as they are not very good at the current amount of properties within the village. With the building of at a minimum of 60 homes that will increase the number of vehicles on average by 120 which dramaticly will impact the environment and the surrounding area.
But the MAJOR problem is the preposed site and the elevation of this site making an extremely horrid impact on the visual look of Canewdon Village as well as the Church. There is a bus service but it is a village service so only runs a reduced timetable.

There was a meeting at the village hall to discuss the proposed site for this development and this was not the area that was agreed upon .The meeting was attended by parish and local councillors and members of planning from Rochford council .
The village doesn't have the infrastructure to deal with the 60 +5% of homes.
From the map it would seem that 2 properties will be purchased to complete the development, one of these was refused permission to build another bungalow in its grounds due to overdevelopment.
Privacy ,security and outlook for existing homes would be negatively affected.

People who live in our village community do so because it is a small, quiet location. The prospect of new 60+ houses being built in a small village is both alarming and upsetting. Parking is already a problem here, with cars parked in every conceivable place, some a danger to pedestrians and other road uses. It is more than likely that new houses will bring approx 2 cars per family (most villages need a car as we have very limited bus service) this will make our village noisier and busier. A prospect that we would not want.

The original site that was chosen and passed at the meeting in Canewdon a few years ago was the perfect place, but this one so close to the church would just be an eye sore on the landscape and a logistical nightmare for all concerned. Please please please think again and go back to the original plan

I walk the footpaths around Canewdon on an almost daily basis and some of the best views of the church are heading towards Canewdon on the footpaths from Rochford. Also the view from the footpath crossing the field above the proposed site out across Rochford,Southend and the Thames Estuary. These views would be destroyed should the proposed development take place. The church would effectively be surrounded from the south,east and north. The view to the south would become just the back of more housing rather than an open scene of the little countryside left in this corner of Essex.

With only one local shop in the area, one junior school and a small village hall ,I cannot see how adding a further 60 properties to the area can be justified.

I thought the area was a greenbelt area?? The Church was something to behold of Canewdon's village heritage??

In addition there is no pavement streching from the bottom of Church Hill up to the area of the 1st detached houses along Anchor Lane.
Why is the proposal for the development on the land running to the east of Scotts Hall Lane been exchanged for this one.
Along with the Parish Council I firmly oppose this proposal

Development west of Church Road, north of Lark Hill Road has been turned down more than once, the last time being 2 years ago when the village was consulted on planning in Canewdon. This site was totally rejected for development by the PCC when it cropped up again in 2012, At this time Canewdon Parish Council also rejected it. Planting trees would still obscure the panoramic view from the top of Church Road where the junction of two of our well used footpaths occurs. The unique view of our Church (floodlit at night) from approaching roads would be lost forever!

Please let's not add to its ugliness, let us preserve and 'nurture' existing dwellings to keep this a desirable rural community. Also the pleasnt view of our outstanding church will be lost forever... Do we actually need extra housing? Who for exactly? We are in a recession so people aren't moving into the area for employment. Canewdon is big enough, lets keep that way.

Also it doesn't need to be done because there is better allocations in the village, which will have less impact on the church and the village as a whole. I do not feel the council has involved the village enough and we need time and more consultations to make this decision. Dog walkers and ramblers enjoy the peace and beauty of this area and we attract people from outside the area to see its beauty, and use the many quiet public footpaths that surround this beautiful area.

Full text:

I object because I think the view of the church should be saved for all to enjoy. The site chosen is on an elevated area with really bad drainage and there are constant water problems whenever it rains.This view can be seen for miles and the church and surrounding areas are of historic significance, also the church is a grade II listed building as is the vicarage, the council says they will be sympathetic, but by surrounding the church with houses I do not see how this can be done. There are better allocations which will have less impact on the village.

Two years ago the Parish Council asked the Village which site was preferable and the site South of Anchor Lane & East of Scotts Hall Road was preferred. The Parochial Church Council also preferred the same location.
The scenic aspect of the Church itself will be severely compromised if the current proposal is accepted.
It will now be a travesty if a high-powered submission from developers / the Church authorities, should take precedence over the the local people, ie. The Canewdon Parish Council and the Canewdon PCC.
Please reject this and go back to the original proposal.

As a village I feel that the sense of community will gradually fade as more houses are built here. The church is an important focal point of Canewdon and many properties will be affected by not only losing the feeling of country living but more traffic will be using roads already unable to cope at times.

This proposed scheme has been promoted above all other sites with no regard for the village, it's character and one of the most historic churches in Essex - there are low lying sites in the village that would be far more suitable without blighting the surroundings.
It was clearly stated to me by a senior council officer that development would not be on the site in question and in fact not on any raised a reason the Crouch estuary - odd it now appears acceptable
Don't ruin such an amazing building to residential development

Representation Summary:

Outrageous that our elected Councillors feel its acceptable to develop adjacent to a Grade 2* listed building - a church that is one of the most important and historic within Essex
This site has been questionably promoted going against all the early comments and preferences of the Council's officers
To put a development on a raised section of the village beggars belief
The development will also be adjacent to a 600 year old farm house - what more can RDC do to blight two most valuable, characterful buildings in the district - vandalism of our District
