Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

Distribution

Representation ID: 3953

Received: 17/12/2008

Respondent: Chelmsford Diocesan Board of Finance

Agent: Strutt & Parker

Representation Summary:

We support the concern regarding the effect of "town cramming" on the attractiveness and character of parts of the District. Providing 60% of housing on previously developed land as advocated by Government Policy may be unrealistic in Rochford. A 30:70 split between development on previously developed land and suitable Greenfield locations at the edge of sustainable settlements is also supported. A potential site for housing previously put forward, to the south of Ironwell Lane, Hawkwell, would not contribute to town cramming, it is located adjacent to low density residential development in a broad area identified for growth by PolicyH2.

Respondent: Chelmsford Diocesan Board of Finance

Agent: Strutt & Parker

Representation Summary:

We support the balanced strategy adopted for the settlement hierarchy resulting in Hockley/Hawkwell being positioned at the top tier. This follows Government guidance on location of development set out in PPS3, paragraph 38 stating that the relationships between settlements should be considered in deciding suitable locations for development. Hawkwell is considered to be a sustainable settlement, capable of accommodating development to the south. A potential site for housing put forward during previous consultations, to the south of Ironwell Lane, Hawkwell, it is well located in terms of services, facilities and employment opportunities and has good links with Hockley.
