Rochford Area Action Plan Submission

Figure 11

Representation ID: 32776

Received: 27/08/2013

Respondent: Hawkwell Parish Council

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Both proposals for pedestrianisation (Figs 11 &12) or modest improvements should be resisted. They will have a detrimental impact on trade. Widening the pavements around the square will be of no benefit and would impact on the Market layout. Traffic issues could be resolved by reversing the traffic flow as it used to be with cars entering at the bottom of square and exiting at the top by the Spar building.

Legally compliant? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

2. New Development in the Southern approach into Rochford would have an adverse impact on South Street and Locks Hill. There is little room for development in Locks Hill without the loss of parking. The only area for possible development is behind the Police Station providing the Police Station is retained. The idea of a commercial land mark building at the junction of Bradley Way and South Street would ruin the approach from Southend.

Representation Summary:

Paragraph 5, Policy 9, Key Diagram D. The proposal to develop the area around the Freight House would have a detrimental effect on this delightful area. The south side of West Street and Bradley Way, Freight House, Railway Station and Railway Cottages are all Victorian; any new building would be out of keeping and because of its elevated position, will be visible from all around. The loss of car parking will be another issue. Signalled traffic light at the junction of Hall Road and West Street will be out of keeping in conservation area.
