Respondent: Natural England
We welcome the objectives of the AAP including improved accessibility for all, recognising the need to enhance linkages to public open space such as the area adjacent to Bradley Way.
We support policies which encourage developers to promote cycling and walking and improve links to the town centre and open space for non car users.
Natural England generally welcomes the policies presented within the AAP particularly where these seek to improve the public realm and promote landscape and environmental enhancements including access to open space.
Natural England welcomes the promotion of unused, underused or unattractive sites for development; however, in line with the NPPF only those sites which are not of high environmental value should be developed.

1) Whilst the plan Rochford Town Centre is in itself commendable, it is insular in terms of the District Core Strategy.
2) Insufficient attention has been paid to recent changes in legislation - population explosion effects and government direction made by the minister for communities and local government.
3) Approach roads - Hall Road - Ashingdon Road, Southend Road should be considered as needing attention as part of the culture, character and heritage of the town.
4) Attention to flooding - still a 'hot potato'.
5) Duty of care? - Fitness for purpose?
Statutory duty.
Definition of sound - everything must be heard - has good condition, and sustainable.

I believe the plan is not sound because of the proposed development on green belt and prime agricultural land. Also, considerable improvements to the infrastructure need to be put in place before any development takes place. The developers would not pay for the infrastructure improvements required as there would be no profit margin to them. So who would pay?
