The proposals will materially change the character of Hockley by demolishing around 2/3 of the village centre. This change of character has not been consulted on (but responses to previous consultations show it is heavily opposed.) The scale of change is relatively huge but little benefit and none of the key issues resolved - a poor plan which will damage Hockley.

The revised wording dilutes the requirement for a Transport Assessment to 'strategic planning applications'. With the emphasis on smaller 'boutique' businesses, there is no longer any guarantee any such 'strategic planning applications' will be made. There are therefore no effective proposals or evidence to deal with highways issues (Chapter 3, Policy 3) and the council has consistently misled residents and undertaken a U-turn on repeated commitments to undertake a Transport Assessment as part of the HAAP. Smaller developments may also mitigate against meaningful improvements. A clear commitment to a full transport assessment is required.
MM14 -
The Inspector's changes correctly and appropriately reflect the findings of the Retail & Leisure Study 2008 but the changes will impact on the project finances and there is absolutely no evidence that the revised overall proposals are financially viable. The original viability analysis, as presented in the submission copy of the HAAP contained a major error (omitting land assembly costs) and the plans for more offices are contrary to their own expert's advice (see Evidence Base letter from GL Hearn). The changes may well impact the financials and an updated viability analysis is required.

I completely object to the proposal on the grounds that it will adversely affect the character of Hockley. Having moved to Hockley only 4 months ago, our decision was determined by the fact that Hockley had such a charming centre and was not just a clone of so many High Streets which are to be found all around the country. There are already four small supermarkets within walking distance and at least another four a short ride away and allowing another would only be a blight on the town

The Financial Assessment used in the HAAP is mathematically flawed as it omits land assembly costs, resulting in the original proposals NOT being financially viable.
The financial case is further weakened without a supermarket and the fact that the council's own experts are on record as stating there is little/no demand for offices. A revised financial analysis is required.
The Inspector's changes correctly and appropriately reflect the findings of the Retail & Leisure Study 2008 but the changes will impact on the project finances and there is absolutely no evidence that the revised overall proposals are financially viable.
The original viability analysis, as presented in the submission copy of the HAAP contained a major error (omitting land assembly costs) and the plans for more offices are contrary to their own expert's advice. The changes may well impact the financials and an updated viability analysis is required.
Evidence:
The HAAP states: "This analysis adopts realistic and robust assumptions, including construction costs based on standard building indices and the project team's knowledge of comparable schemes, and takes into account the potential cost of land assembly. It also relates to a scheme that would help to meet the Council's aspirations for the AAP area. Broadly speaking, the viability analysis demonstrates that the proposed redevelopment of the Eldon Way Opportunity Site is currently financially viable".
So the HAAP recognises the financial analysis is marginal but states that land assembly costs are included. However, the actual, source Viability Assessment paper states land assembly costs are NOT included (as indeed they are not!). No evidence the plan is financially viable.
The revised HAAP designates Hockley as a prime location for the provision of new office space in the District. There is no evidence to support this proposal - recent demand for offices has been poor and in August 2013 the council approved a planning application to convert existing offices in a commercial property (Warren House), located in the village centre, into flats. Further, the letter dated Sept 2012 from GL Hearn (on the Evidence Base) confirms there is little demand: "Office development in Hockley would be seen as a secondary investment and as such it would be very difficult to secure private sector funding for any speculative office development in the short term and it is unlikely to be viable in any case. As a result of this weak demand profile, office provision in Hockley is limited at present. In summary, given the current economic climate and secondary nature of the Hockley office market it is unlikely that development would prove viable without significant cross subsidy from higher value uses or public sector support".
The existing industrial premises in Eldon Way currently provide a significant source of business to the adjacent shopping area. If demand for offices is low (as per the GL Hearn report), this trade will not be replaced and there will be a loss of business.

The revised wording dilutes the requirement for a Transport Assessment to 'strategic planning applications'. With the emphasis on smaller 'boutique' businesses, there is no longer any guarantee any such 'strategic planning applications' will be made. There are therefore no effective proposals or evidence to deal with highways issues (Chapter 3, Policy 3) and the council has consistently misled residents and undertaken a U-turn on repeated commitments to undertake a Transport Assessment as part of the HAAP. Smaller developments may also mitigate against meaningful improvements. A clear commitment to a full transport assessment is required.

The proposals will materially change the character of Hockley by demolishing around 2/3 of the village centre. This change of character has not been consulted on (but responses to previous consultations show it is heavily opposed.) The scale of change is relatively huge but little benefit and none of the key issues resolved - a poor plan which will damage Hockley.
MM7 -
The revised wording dilutes the requirement for a Transport Assessment to 'strategic planning applications'. With the emphasis on smaller 'boutique' businesses, there is no longer any guarantee any such 'strategic planning applications' will be made. There are therefore no effective proposals or evidence to deal with highways issues (Chapter 3, Policy 3) and the council has consistently misled residents and undertaken a U-turn on repeated commitments to undertake a Transport Assessment as part of the HAAP. Smaller developments may also mitigate against meaningful improvements. A clear commitment to a full transport assessment is required.
MM14 -
The Inspector's changes correctly and appropriately reflect the findings of the Retail & Leisure Study 2008 but the changes will impact on the project finances and there is absolutely no evidence that the revised overall proposals are financially viable. The original viability analysis, as presented in the submission copy of the HAAP contained a major error (omitting land assembly costs) and the plans for more offices are contrary to their own expert's advice (see Evidence Base letter from GL Hearn). The changes may well impact the financials and an updated viability analysis is required.
