301 Ms K Kelly<br />
4.3 Protection and enhancement <strong>of</strong> the Upper Roach V<strong>all</strong>ey. The RSPB believes green spaces are vital for communities<br />
and would support the protection and enhancement <strong>of</strong> the Upper Roach V<strong>all</strong>ey for biodiversity and informal recreation.<br />
Council options - The RSPB would support a policy providing protection and enhancement <strong>of</strong> the area and increased<br />
countryside recreation opportunities. These opportunities should be appropriate to the site in providing sympathetic access.<br />
The RSPB supports the extension <strong>of</strong> country park <strong>all</strong>ocations. 4.4 Protection and enhancement <strong>of</strong> special landscapes,<br />
habitats and species. We are pleased to see recognition <strong>of</strong> the important landscapes, habitats and species within the<br />
District. We support the protection, extension and enhancement <strong>of</strong> these sites. We are pleased to see that the Council<br />
recognises the importance <strong>of</strong> environmental infrastructure along the coast and we encourage them to ensure its protection<br />
and enhancement. We are also pleased to see that the Council is committed to seeking 'throughout the coast and other<br />
special landscapes, high standards <strong>of</strong> development, including the location, siting, design and materials used' (para 4.4.7). W<br />
302 Mr B Short Yes to Upper Roach V<strong>all</strong>ey. Yes to balance.<br />
Hockley woods and the surrounding area should be protected. Gusted H<strong>all</strong> and surrounding area should also be protected.<br />
303 Mr K Hatfield<br />
Same for Clements H<strong>all</strong>.<br />
304 Mr A Rutter We must keep what we have but some farmland could be used Stambridge Canewdon way.<br />
305 E L Strangleman Yes.<br />
306 Mr E C Cook See <strong>comments</strong> under 9<br />
All green areas should be protected from development and more should be made <strong>of</strong> the undoubted potential that this area<br />
has for recreation, be it parks, nature sites or even developing the waterside areas that are currently in my opinion a<br />
307 Mr J Snow<br />
disgrace.<br />
308 The Occupier Regret so far inadequate knowledge <strong>of</strong> the area.<br />
309 Mr J Smith Priority for protection is the green belt. Rochford area is already intensively developed.<br />
I like to see <strong>all</strong> the Green Belt areas being protected from development. It is important that <strong>all</strong> <strong>of</strong> our footpaths and<br />
310 Chris Teeder<br />
woodlands are maintained, I feel that the Council are doing too much development and not enough protection.<br />
No I do not think the council has the balance correct, as you have lifted a part <strong>of</strong> green belt for large housing and left the<br />
other half as green belt, <strong>all</strong> should be lifted in that area, and only affordable houses for young people should be built on that<br />
314 Mrs C Quennell land.<br />
Too much development, too much short term decision making is the t<strong>all</strong> mark <strong>of</strong> the Council. Protect the Green belt,<br />
315 R A Stone<br />
protect the environment and defend school playing fields.<br />
The lower end <strong>of</strong> Ironwell Lane should be a bridle/cycleway and not accessible to motore vehicles. The Upper Roach V<strong>all</strong>ey<br />
316 Ms S Copeman should be further developed as a recreational area.<br />
While it is worthwhile to protect important areas, considering beauty and special wildlife habitat etc, I don't agree with a<br />
317 Mr D Harris<br />
policy <strong>of</strong> nil development <strong>of</strong> any kind simply because the subject site happens to be classified as 'green belt'<br />
318 Ms W Hatton We can never get developed land back for countryside - be careful.<br />
319 Mr M Lang No there is over development in <strong>all</strong> areas the upper Roach V<strong>all</strong>ey should be left alone as green belt land or a country park.<br />
Countryside recreation is a good idea but the Cherry Orchard Park does not have enough parking for anyone other than<br />
320 J Feather<br />
Southend residents to use. If you wish people to use these areas they have to get there.<br />
Balance is right. Maintain places like Hockley Woods but green belt has to be used for housing. Nothing special about area<br />
321 R J Feather<br />
to be protected.<br />
323 Mr T Beebee All ancient woodland to be protected. The Cherry Orchard Country Park to be extended to Hockley Woods.
