Core Strategy Preferred Options document - Amazon Web Services

Introduction
will shape the document as it progresses towards adoption.
Listening To Your Views
The Core Strategy has evolved through its production to take on board the
concerns, comments and suggestions that have been submitted by members
of the public and other stakeholders at various stages.
As stated in the previous section, the need to revisit the Core Strategy
Preferred Options has emanated from concerns expressed over the initial
version of the Core Strategy. The following table summarises some of the
main concerns expressed by the public, and explains how we have addressed
these:
What you told us previously What we have done this time
There is too much residential
development proposed for our
village / town.
Why do we need to
accommodate any more
houses in the District?
It is not clear where new
development is proposed to
go.
We have reconsidered the issue of
housing distribution having regard to the
updated evidence base together with the
implementation of other new strategies /
developments since last year.
The East of England Plan requires
Rochford District to ensure at least
4,600 additional dwellings are built in the
District between 2001 and 2021.
Rochford’s allocation is based on
meeting current and future need.
Current need encompasses the number
of people in the District who are living
within a household wanting to move to
their own accommodation and form a
separate household but unable to do so
(e.g. adult children).
Projected need is derived from the
supposition that the population is
projected to increase from 81,300 in
2007 to 87,000 by 2021.
The purpose of the Core Strategy is not
to identify specific locations but indicate
general areas for development. More
precise locations, submitted as part of
our ‘call for sites’ exercise, will be
appraised within the Allocations
Development Plan Document.
