No mention is made of the fact that 2 new supermarkets (Sainsburys and Costcutters) have been opened in Hockley since the HAAP process commenced. They provide additional choice and competition, which has not been taken into account.
provision of a large 3,000 sq m supermarket may well have a detrimental impact on existing shops and actually reduce competition.

The Sustainability Appraisal recommended a Transport Assessment (TA). The Core Strategy specified Highways for inclusion in the HAAP. RDC repeatedly promised to include Highways but have not done so.
The council have done TAs for Rochford & Rayleigh AAPs but not Hockley. Why has Hockley been discriminated against? What are the council hiding?
The council say this was to save money but contradicted by TAs for the other two AAPs.
RDC want developer to do TA but this would allow them to arrange a biast report.

3.3 refers to the 2009 Issues and Options report. This report was deemed inappropriate by all parties including RDC and residents told the council would start again. The council has gone back on their promise.

No justification given for assertion that a "greater focus on food retail" is required. 2 New supermarkets have opened since the start of the HAAP and not mentioned!
The proposed maximum of 3,000 sq m is nearly 6 times the size of the current Co-Op supermarket. This will change character of Hockley and could overwhelm competition, thus reducing choice.

Point C refers to "enhanced car parking" but the plans show minimal, if any, extra parking despite a new supermarket 6 times the size of existing. The HAAP also proposes to consolidate the existing station car park into this small space. The plan is simply not viable.

Proposals to raise entry to Woodlands Road from Spa roundabout are not backed by any research; would cause tailbacks from cars turning in and endanger pedestrians.
A full Transport Assessment (TA) is required to determine practical solutions to this key problem.
The council has undertaken TAs for Rochford and Rayleigh AAPs but not for Hockley. This is discriminatory and the council is trying to hide the truth. Why?

Plan proposes to widen pavement AND insert an extra lane outside Spa Pub. No evidence this is viable. No Traffic Assessment (TA) to determine if appropriate. the council's own expert reports that space is restricted. Why has the council ignored its own expert? What evidence is there to support their view. Why have costs fallen from £2m in Core Strategy to £300K?

The council wants to provide a public open space and an evening culture, despite repeated rejections by residents. Near by Rayleigh has significant nuisance problems associated with its evening economy. Police levels have been reduced to 1 PC and 2 PCSOs to 30,000 residents and would be unable to police effectively.

Insufficient "Consolidated parking" is proposed to cater for existing users; a supermarket 6 times current size; consolidated rail station parking.
The proposals are not viable and extending size would render rest of proposals unworkable. Providing a multi-story car would change village character.
No supermarket will invest without adequate car parking.

No detailed Highways proposals have been made despite repeated promises, the most recent of which was on 17 July 2012 at Full (RDC) Council. This is discriminatory.
Traffic Assessments (TAs) have been undertaken for the parallel Rochford & Rayleigh AAPs but not Hockley - why not? What is the council hiding?
Cllr Hudson said this was to save money but disproved by the RoAAP and RaAAP TAs.
