Received: 20/04/2009

Respondent: Hockley Residents Association

Representation Summary:

Residents are concerned at the 'do-ability' of the proposals. Private finance will be required to provide funding which, in turn, means large scale change. Most residents want to maintain the existing character which means smaller scale development.

- the empty shops & woodyard just up the hill towards Rayleigh should be included.
