228 Ms A Henderson I think the council is getting things right, generally.
230 V G Crick Needs to be monitored. Green belt to be retained not abused.
I think the Upper Roach Valley area should be protected but instead of just being green belt with footpaths, maybe there
231 Mr & Mrs Walker should be a country park where people could park up and have picnics and children could play on interesting play areas.
I would hope and expect that the woodland existing would be protected. The Upper Road Valley ? A good area to increase
recreation. Pathways joining existing country parks - walks etc are a helpful and usefull way of keeping a green long feel -
232 Mrs A Robinson especially if this were ? ? by all.
Wildlife and environment are critical, so no development should be allowed around on the natural flood plains of our rivers.
233 Mr G Congram Any development will only make matters worse than they are and will increase insurance premiums.
The Roach estuary has a wonderful opportunity for recreational activities as also the Crouch if only the local farmers would
allow access. As it is only the sea wall is open to the public. The state of the tidal limit is utterly disgusting with mountains

of debris the whole length of the river.
I believe the greenbelt should be protected the same way as conservation areas to stop the clearance of trees and scrub
without the local authorities permission or have a blanket tree preservation order placed on all green belt, this would stop
the intrusion into greenbelt by strategy. All greenbelt areas should be signposted on lamposts to make it clear which areas
are designated green belt. The keeping of horses in green belt should be encouraged but in a lot of cases landscaping
policies should be implemented, clean up notices should be given to any sites which are untidy as this does not give a good

impresion of our district.
Parks, trees and green spaces are important, not just for now but generations to come. It is our responsibility to pass this on
and not destroy green space for a 'quick buck'. Incentives given to those who plant trees and plan land as green space
236 Mr & Mrs Beattie rather than estates.
The balance should be shifted away from development and towards protection. At present if a developer wants permission
237 Mr Sanders
to build nothing is done by Rochford council to prevent this.
Back garden development should not be given planning permission. Existing recreational sites should be preserved and

protected for public use by reinstating parkland security ie rangers to prevent vandalism.
Country parks and green areas. People need to appreciate the countryside and encourage their children to play outside
more. Therefore, need to provide the right recreational areas. Protection needs to be maintained - we need to keep our
240 Mr & Mrs Beattie woodlands, landscapes and green belt lands.
242 Mr D Batchelor More protection.
All existing woodland areas and parks/playing fields should be protected. Upper Roach Valley could be a good area for
increasing recreational opportunities by making better use of the river for example. On the question of balance it is
243 Adrean Lansdowne important to ensure that where there is development it is of good long term quality.
Sport England supports the possible policy option of relaxing green belt policy (para 4.2), particularly where this allows more
development opportunities for leisure and tourism, as outdoor sport and recreation are legitimate land uses within the green
belt. With regard to Cherry Orchard Jubilee Country Park (Para 4.3.3) Sport England supports the policy to provide for the
244 Mr P Raiswell
protection and enhancement of the area and increased informal countryside recreation opportunities.
Historically due to existing planning policies the current balance between all the conflicting interests has led to high price,

mediocre developments.
246 Miss M Saward Yes at the moment.
