Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Transport Impact Assessments have been provided for Rayleigh, Rochford, but as demonstrated by Hockley Area Action Plan Submission, not for Hockley, Hawkwell, Ashingdon.

HAAP envisages largescale redevelopment in central Hockley, to be done piecemeal by individual development applications, one already submitted. Clearly from Figure 3 and attendant paragraphs under Green Belt and Countryside - South Essex Coastal Towns, extensive development throughout Hockley, Hawkwell and Ashingdon, between Rayleigh and Rochford, is envisaged, presumably to be done piecemeal through individual applications.

Main Road through those settlements is winding narrow country lane, now tarmacked over for motorised traffic. Piecemeal large development schemes, with attendant traffic schemes left to developers to arrange with Essex Highways cannot work, as illustrated by 175 house scheme now being implemented in Hawkwell, with inadequate traffic scheme.
