276 Mr M Barrell
Protection and Enhancement of Special Landscapes, Habitats and Species- We would fully support the protection of the
undeveloped coastline, for both biodiversity and flood risk management reasons. Due to the persence of the international
nature conservation designations within the district, advice should be sought from Natural England on the possible
requirement for the core strategy to be subject to an Appropriate Assessment to consider possible impacts from
development on these sites. As you are no doubt aware, we are preparing a Crouch and Roach Estuary Flood Management
Strategy, currently due to be launched in the summer of 2007. This has considered options for flood risk management
across the estuaries for the next 50 years, and will identify areas where, for examplt existing flood defences are to be
maintained and where managed realignment should or could occur. The core strategy must clearly have regard to this
document. Considering the proposed 'probable' options, we would clearly support the protection of designated sites and
BAP species and habitats. It should be recognized that these features could be impacted by development directly or indirect
277 Ms S A Elkington Please continue.
278 Mr P Marshall Local fishing pond should be protected, recreation grounds, better promotion of existing sites.
279 S J Heeney Where is the Upper Roach Valley?
280 Mrs M A Tyrell It is most important to keep and protect our existing recreational areas.
At present the Council have got things right and in my opinion Rochford Council is better than most. I do not want to see
any more evidence of 'urbanising the countryside'. Please leave natural areas to be natural. Hockley Woods was more

enjoyable when it was not as 'regimented' as it is today - don't spoil our natural areas by 'tarting them up too much'.
286 Mr L F Knight No not while developers can make it so councils parish, districts and counties.
287 Mr R Forster Protect the green belt from development.
288 Mr & Mrs C Cummins Countryside at the end of Rayleigh Avenue and Tudor Road which abutts the Country Park should be protected
On the whole yes. Extending Cherry Orchard Park is a good idea. Every development, housing or industrial, needs a
289 Mrs J Warner
'green lung'. Protect and develop recreational opportunities especially open spaces, in all localities.
290 Ms E Davis Not sure, but protection is important.
The Upper Roach Valley seems the obvious place to develop recreational/tourist opportunities, but transport to and from
292 Mr & Mrs Goring these areas should perhaps be on the water, not building new roads but utilizing the natural route.
Yes, please, please, protect Hockley woods. It is being vandalised in the name of husbandry. Once there were paths, now
298 Mr & Mrs Hewitt they are virtually roadways.
All parks and areas such as the mill and its adjoining land must be protected. School playing fields mut be kept for the
development of children's sport and social activities. Green Belt protection provides habitat for our limited wildlfe and gives
families views of nature on their doorstops. We must not create a concrete jungle. The balance is fine but we need to look
299 Mr & Mrs Tuson after our green space, we can't afford to waste this precious resource.
