Town Centres
Representation ID: 3913
Received: 17/12/2008
Respondent: Essex County Council
The town centres of Rayleigh, Rochford and Hockley and future plans for them are closely linked to the economic development of the District. The varied approach being taken to develop these town centres is supported but consideration should be given to expressing the mix of uses and economic impact of future anticipated development in each town centre in a more quantitative fashion. Also, there should be some recognition of the role and purpose of the town centres beyond retail uses.

CP1 Design - Preferred Option
Representation ID: 3914
Received: 17/12/2008
Respondent: Essex County Council
Preferred Option CP1 (Design), proposes that developers of large residential schemes should produce and adhere to their own design briefs. This should be strengthened to include a degree of local authority/community input. The text should be amended to read, 'Developers of large residential schemes should adhere to design briefs produced in conjunction with, and approved by, the district council.'

CLT1 Planning Obligations and Standard Charges - Preferred Option
Representation ID: 3915
Received: 17/12/2008
Respondent: Essex County Council
It could be construed from the final paragraph of the Preferred Option CLT1 (Planning Obligations and Standard Charges) that where land for community facilities is required as part of a development this obligation will be instead of the standard charge. The paragraph should be revised to clarify that the obligation will be in addition to the standard charge.

Education
Representation ID: 3916
Received: 17/12/2008
Respondent: Essex County Council
The commentary in the 'Education' section should include reference to Early Years and Childcare (EY & C) provision. There are three points to make,
o New primary schools should include commensurate EY&C facilities
o Although Hockley does not require a new primary school EY&C provision must be expanded
o The more rural areas, in particular Canewdon, Great Wakering and Hullbridge, will require additional places

Received: 17/12/2008
Respondent: Essex County Council
The final paragraph of the commentary in the 'Education' section, which refers to school transport plans, should be expanded to note that housing developments in excess of two miles from sufficient key stage one provision via a safe walking route or three miles from provision for older children must mitigate their impacts and facilitate appropriate school transport.

CLT2 Primary Education, Early Years and Childcare Facilities - Preferred Option
Representation ID: 3919
Received: 17/12/2008
Respondent: Essex County Council
The text of Preferred Option CLT2 (Primary Education, Early Years and Childcare Facilities) should be clarified by revisions to the text which are proposed.
The text of Preferred Option CLT2 (Primary Education, Early Years and Childcare Facilities) should be clarified by the following revisions,
o In the first paragraph that the new primary schools that may be required are for the proposed development locations at North of London Road Rayleigh and West Rochford;
o In the second paragraph delete the words 'new primary schools with early years and childcare facilities' and insert the words 'new primary schools and early years and childcare facilities', because new early years and childcare provision may be required at sites other than just the two new primary schools;
o In the third paragraph add the words 'and Early Years and Childcare' after each reference to 'primary school(s)' in order to be consistent with the amended wording of the first and second paragraphs of the policy;
o Convert the final sentence of the policy into a fourth paragraph to clarify that it pertains to the whole policy and not just to the third paragraph.

CLT10 Playing Pitches - Preferred Option
Representation ID: 3921
Received: 17/12/2008
Respondent: Essex County Council
The final paragraph of Preferred Option CLT10 (Playing Pitches) should be revised to clarify that it only applies to public rather than private pitches. Application of the policy to school playing pitches would restrict implementation of long term site management plans and school reorganisation.
