Respondent: Indigo Planning
On behalf of Sainsbury's Supermarkets Limited (SSL) we submit representations in respect of Rochford District Council's New Local Plan Issues and Options Document (IOD).
SSL currently operates the following stores within the District:
* Rochford West Street Local, 74-78 West Street, Rochford, SS4 1AS.
* Hockley Spa Road Local, 40 Spa Road, Hockley, SS5 4PH; and
* Rayleigh Eastwood Road Local, 243 Eastwood Road, Rayleigh, SS6 7LF.
Given their investment in the District and the surrounding area, SSL has a keen interest in the Council's emerging planning policy and the implications of this for its existing estate and future aspirations.
The IOD has set out a number of options to be carried forwarded into the final Local Plan and asked which option is preferred. Below, we have set out our comments on the options that are relevant to SSL.
Retail, Leisure and Town Centres
An impact assessment threshold has not been set out within the IOD. We consider a threshold of 750sqm gross for all retail floorspace across the District is introduced to ensure that proposals with the potential of impacting on centres will be considered.
We trust these representations will be taken into account in the next iteration of the Local Plan and would be grateful if you could keep us informed of the progress of the Plan.
