With particular emphasis on Highways. We are already exceeding capacity in some areas. East of England Plan refers to A127 and A13 which are major routes to and from Rochford. (Essex Thames Gateway Sub area Profile - Transport/Para 4.57 and 4.58).
How can we reasonably expect to accommodate proposed development outlined in the strategy without guaranteed major improvements to the infrastructure.

Policy GB1 - Green Belt Protection

Representation ID: 16040

Received: 28/10/2009

Respondent: Rochford & District Chamber of Trade & Commerce

Representation Summary:

The minimum amount of land should be allocated for development. Agree, rural diversification should be encouraged. The council should work more with landowners and the rural economy to promote and support more employment. This has been a growth area in recent years and could be better promoted contrary to the statement made on Page 66/para 6.9.
Only when every effort has been made to identify brown field sites for development should green belt land be released.

Policy URV1 - Upper Roach Valley

Representation ID: 16042

Received: 28/10/2009

Respondent: Rochford & District Chamber of Trade & Commerce

Representation Summary:

This area should be preserved as the "Green Lung". The area surrounding the Cherry Orchard Park should be preserved as green belt. Access to the park remains a serious concern for residents of Rochford District. It seems incongruous that there is a plan to build 600 dwellings and a school in West Rochford being so close to the country park. How does this equate to the concept of the country park?
