Much <strong>of</strong> the Green Belt is neglected horse paddocks and featureless agriculture. The 'no it's green belt' policy should be<br />
modified to development plus associated created habitat. Low maintenance once established. Barnes Common West<br />
London sort <strong>of</strong> thing. Featureless playing fields are as bad. Barnes Common includes playing fields in a landscape <strong>of</strong> 7 day<br />
a week use. Areas for local youth to bicycle, skate board, kick footb<strong>all</strong>, kites the area behind Waitrose petrol station was<br />
until recently the rendyvous for <strong>all</strong> sort <strong>of</strong> clapped out motor cycles, no bother to anybody. Further development implies a<br />
new major road East West, and a waste disposal site near Rochford. It's ridiculous that its not not possible to cooperate<br />
with Southend on both.<br />
Your voters chose to live in these areas ie sm<strong>all</strong> towns or villages and wish to keep these and do not want them developed<br />
any further as it undermines the reason we live here!<br />
This whole strategy is driven by a Government directive to construct 4,600 new homes by 2021. What is the rationale for<br />
this. Why do we need so many extra houses when there is blatantly no space to put them without encroaching green belt<br />
land or inconveniencing existing residents. Why do we not take a firm stance and say enough is enough! If we do have to<br />
proceed you should take steps to avoid any expenditure on accommodating gypsies, travellers and immigrants <strong>all</strong> <strong>of</strong> which<br />
have a detremental effect on any location for which they are sited. No doubt we can expect another inflation busting<br />
increase in our council tax to pay for this ridiculous initiative.<br />
I have only lived here a few years. I hope to live in my home for many years to come. Therefore the area is important to<br />
my family. I would like to see my son live loc<strong>all</strong>y and not move away. We are at the end area <strong>of</strong> the map we can't move<br />
further west only east - north and possibly south. I am not sure what Rochford has available for.<br />
Respite within the Rochford area for carers to have a break - there isn't any! Rochford should promote anything that fills<br />
this gap and encourage new business interests to look at this gap. Carers <strong>of</strong>ten get direct payments for this service, but<br />
can't 'spend' the money as there is nothing to access it with! It seems a waste. Supported living - is there any? The<br />
demand is there and it is an area that will grow, creating job opportunities. The learning disabled and physic<strong>all</strong>y disabled<br />
need more attention paid to them.<br />
I feel quite strongly that the authority needs to be very careful about planning permissions in Rochford town which <strong>all</strong>ow<br />
over development; for example - the new flats in Weir Pond Road next to betting shop are in my opinion a clear case <strong>of</strong><br />
ugly monstruosities, completely spoiling the picturesque cottages opposite - a great shame - which should never have been<br />
<strong>all</strong>owed. Please do not do anything like it again! Thank you for the consultation process, and the plans you get right.<br />
Rochford was once a pleasant place to live, not so much o now our roads are in a disgraceful state. Too much heavy traffic<br />
on roads never meant for it. Much frustration for drivers on the Ashingdon Road and Southend Road especi<strong>all</strong>y at<br />
commuter time and the school run.<br />
The biggest ch<strong>all</strong>enge facing Rochford is that with extra homes the District's road systems are tot<strong>all</strong>y inadequate - until the<br />
policy <strong>of</strong> resisting by-passes is ceased the roads will continue to be clogged especi<strong>all</strong>y during rush hour - try travelling along<br />
the Ashingdon Road, Rectory Road, H<strong>all</strong> Road, Cherry Orchard Lane and Sutton Road at peak periods and imagine the<br />
effects this will produce with the extra homes in the district. Its time the local plan reflected sufficient roads to take the extra<br />
homes, businesses. The 'infrastructure' is mentioned a lot but the most essential <strong>of</strong> this is roads - insufficent roads mean<br />
inefficient public and private transport - in this questionnaire, why is transport not given its own section?
