Policy H1 - The efficient use of land for housing
Representation ID: 16094
Received: 29/10/2009
Respondent: Rochford & District Chamber of Trade & Commerce
Agree, however, if and when developments take place at Stambridge Mills a 106 Agreement should be sought to be able to build a bridge over the Roach for an alternative entrance/exit to the site with potential to link up to Fossetts Farm. This could also be applied to the current proposed development for Coombes Farm. From a trading point of view, the Chamber welcomes additional housing to the east of Rochford, but seeks additional infrastructure for existing and potential new housing to the east of Rochford to relieve the necessity to access them through the centre of Rochford.

Whilst we support this proposal there are concerns in respect of Star Lane and Stambridge Mills that, in the long term, jobs may be lost to the Rochford community and also increased travel movements by car, due to inadequate public transport.

Respondent: Rochford & District Chamber of Trade & Commerce
In the absence of the SHLAA, (which has not yet been published), the Chamber supports minimum development of the green belt. Every effort must be made to identify brown field sites. It is felt that the allocation of the number of dwellings proposed for the settlement of Rochford is disproportionately high compared to that of other major settlements, i.e. Rayleigh/Hockley/Hawkwell. Access to parts of the green belt would be advantageous, promoting a more healthy lifestyle.

Policy H4 - Affordable Housing
Representation ID: 16104
Received: 29/10/2009
Respondent: Rochford & District Chamber of Trade & Commerce
Affordable housing could be better constructed using alternative building methods and efficient use of sustainable materials. The Chamber have concerns that the large proportion of this type of dwelling will not enhance the trade in the district. It is felt that the socio economic structure of the mixture of development is misguided.

Respondent: Rochford & District Chamber of Trade & Commerce
Support, but express the following reservations:
The word "restrictive" should be removed and the Council should work more with landowners and the rural economy to support and promote more employment. This has been a growth area in recent years and could be better promoted to creating additional rural employment
