I have lived in Rayleigh since 1956. The green belt that seperated Rayleigh from Hockley, Eastwood, Hullbridge, Wickford
is fast disappearing. To retain the Rochford heritage we need to carefully consider what can be lost for the sake of
development. Look at work trends - short weeks, flexible hours - working from home - video conferencing, do we really
need to expand when business is changing. Could we not stay ahead of the game by predicting less roads required - less
new business sites and more and more people stay at home to work or travel at different times (not rush hour)
Rochford area is a nice place to live with most housing and industry kept looking clean and pleasant. There are large areas
of land around the existing industrial estaes that could be utilised for afforadable housing. Light industry ? A ? Leisure
facility - use it. Keep parks and open country well maintained - these areas are well used and
With reference to the attached questionnaire the problem I have is that with all the building that has gone to you quote a
figure of 900 homes so far no extra facilites have been created in fact a school in Rawreth Lane has been pulled down and
a leisure complex and housing built so in short before any further building work is started I would like to know what you plan
to do regarding more Dentists, Doctors, Schools, Hospitals, Fire Stations, the A127 and A13 get clogged with traffic for long
periods durnig the week the roads agency or what ever they call themselves now don't help by closing roads completely at
the drop of a hat after an accident on Health and safety grounds so if you create the jobs how is the product to be
transported around the country in a sensible time frame millions of pounds now are wasted by vehicles in jam's. Affordable
housing, I don't understand exactly what ths is I understand that labour costs have halved with the influx of EU citizens and I
undersand most building sites are flooded with cheap labour which must mean costs have come down and inturn house

Don't be in such a hurry to grant permission to demolish existing house/bungalows to build flats. Developers often don’t
provide anyting like adequate parking so planners must insist on it. Otherwise cars will just be dumped anywhere in the
area and developers will make even more profit. Look at Switzerland as an example for re-furbishing existing buildings to
modern standards instead of UK example of knocking everything down every 50 years or so and putting up new (usually
shoddy) buildings at much greater environmental cost. Look and learn!
097 Mr & Mrs Newman Projects to encourage wildlife, the area would be supported.
I am concerned at the amount of development occuring in this part of the country. In the area I live (Hullbridge), I have
seen a situation where the Senior School and leisure centre have been demolished to be replaced by more housing and a
new 'leisure centre?!' Having children approaching Senior School age has highlighted to me that a situation will soon form
where the infrastructure in terms of GP surgeries, schools and recreational amenities will not cope with the additional
housing. This is also not taking into account the congestion that occurs on most roads in the area. Furtherore, the housing I
se being built is not certainly in the 'affordable housing' bracket. It tends to be 4-bed detached property in the main. These

issues need to be addressed. Housing is not just about a roof over your head.
102 Mr T Newton
The Schools on Ashingdon Road are causing a great deal of anger and frustration to car and road transport. Could training
be given to lollipop ladies to think of the miles of cars queing and delays to peoples journeys. I recently spent 45 minutes
travelling from Ashingdon to Temple Farm Estate. I also can do from Ashingdon to Harold Wood (on a good day) in that
time. Two different work places for me at 4 miles and 20 miles respectively. Road users are just as important as mums
and kids. We all have rights of passage. Ashingdon Road will soon need a walk bridge. A car pull-in within the school
grounds may be a thought. What happened about the Rochford by-pass, from Sutton Road (Shopland) to the A130?

106 Ms P Melito Our roads and pathways badly need attention, they begin to look like patch work quilts.
