Introduction What you told us previously What we have done this time Green Belt land should not be developed. Intensification of existing residential areas (e.g. replacing one house with many, within the same space) is unpopular. There is not enough infrastructure to support more housing. We strongly support the protection of the Green Belt. However, there are insufficient Brownfield sites within the District to meet projected housing needs, therefore some Green Belt land will need to be released. We recognise this concern and propose, as far as practicable, to limit the intensification of existing residential areas, preventing redevelopment which is not in keeping with the density or character of the area. We recognise the need to provide additional infrastructure and improve existing infrastructure where necessary. The Core Strategy outlines in broad terms what infrastructure will be required and how this will be delivered. Our roads are too congested. In determining areas of future development, the fact that accessibility to public transport and the reliance on the use of the car is unequally distributed across the District has been taken into consideration. Actions to promote alternatives to the car such as We like the District’s green, open spaces. We are concerned about antisocial behaviour. walking and cycling are proposed. Green spaces within urban areas are part of the social fabric of the community and will be protected. The District itself is predominantly rural and we aim to minimise the development of Green Belt land. Where the release of Green Belt land is unavoidable, Green Belt land which contributes least towards the purposes of the Green Belt will be favoured for development over other Green Belt locations. Anti-social behaviour is a complex issue but we recognise that planning has an important role to play. From the design of new developments to ensure that natural surveillance deters anti-social behaviour, to the redevelopment of 4
Introduction What you told us previously What we have done this time We are concerned about antisocial behaviour (continued) There needs to be more for young people to do. Any new accommodation should be affordable. We like the character of the District. The historic character, in particular, needs to be protected. We like our local shops / our village needs more shops. There is a good community spirit in our town / village. Rochford and Hockley town centres incorporating more community and youth facilities, to providing environments that all of the community can take pride in and ownership of, concerns regarding anti-social behaviour have been incorporated. We propose additional youth facilities. Young people will be consulted on what facilities they require, and their views will be incorporated into the development of these facilities where a need has been identified. We propose that a proportion of housing provided within new residential development is affordable housing - housing that is available to buy or rent below the normal market value. It is, however, not feasible to require developers to provide 100% affordable housing on any one site. We are committed to the preservation of the District’s historic towns and villages. Provisions such as the extension of certain Conservation Areas and the reintroduction of a Local List of important buildings aim to prevent insensitive alterations to important areas. We will support the development and preservation of shops within villages which serve everyday needs. The main focus of retail enhancement will be within Rayleigh, Hockley and Rochford town centres. ‘Sustainability’ is the key vision for the future. To achieve this, it is essential that settlements are developed as necessary to maintain a vibrant and prosperous environment for future generations. We recognise the importance of community and this has been considered in all aspects of the Core Strategy, from the proposed housing distribution, to retail and town centre policies, to the proposed community facilities and leisure policies. 5
