026 Mr A Lantaff Any developments allowed should be of good quality in both design and landscaping.
027 Mr B Fuller Design and landscaping should always be important. Support local list.
028 Mr J Lickfold Everything to make the area more attractive is important to residents and tourists alike.
029 Mr White Too late for local list. Most buildings have already been demolished or (as in Priory Park Museum) left to rot.
It is all very well encouraging people to buy historic properties, but the maintenance costs are very high and you must then
030 Mr H May
make the property available to the public. We have a most interesting and historic area and we must preserve it.
The communities such as Rayleigh, Rochford, Hockley etc have an identity. Gradually these places are being urbanised
and are losing there character. Landscaping is one of many issues that must be considered for the future. Design of
031 A R Wetton
landscaping are important in all areas.
032 J Morley The character of each town is important. Too much landscaping is spoiling some places.
033 Mr R Balchin Yes
035 Mr B Deal No it seems you are intent on destroying whatever is left of Rochford.
I am a firm believer on first impressions and good maintenance helps to prevent an area becoming a target for anti-social
036 Mrs P Slade
behaviour. So for me landscaping is very important.
037 Mr A Bawden I think design and landscaping are very important. You would not want new developments to look like Harlow or Basildon!
In such a historic area as that which Rochford covers , there is never an area which is unimportant. People will not shop or
038 Mr J Wright
go to industrial areas which look like a rubbish tip. The look of a place is very important.
039 Ms D Quinn Character is lost in towns as small shopes are losing business to large superstores
I don’t see how a local list would benefit the District, unless its putrpose was to assist developers with the design of new
buildings etc. But what to include and what to exclude? Would it include mistakes of the past that we still have to live with
(eg the east side of Rochford Square)? Don't let it stifle innovation. Design and landscaping are more important in public
areas than in residential areas. Individuals need the freedom to adapt their properties to their families needs without
040 Mr D Huskisson overburdening them.
Most of the towns in this survey are covered in concrete. There should be a limit on people covering front gardens with
041 Mr McGee
blocks etc
043 Mr M Yorke Wade We should preserve our histroy and make sure redevelopment keeps in character.
044 Mrs R Beaumont Design and landscaping are always important.
045 Mr R Abbott Design and landscaping is vital to the soul! I don't understand the second question.
Local list is a good idea, we need to preserve our heritage (which is even more important in this day and age of changing
046 Mr & Mrs J Cripps society).
048 Mr S Reeves What character? There is no design/landscaping that I am aware of.
No design and landscaping are very important. Expansion in the area of designer landscaping can be used to create new
049 Mr & Mrs Kitchen jobs particularly for the young.
You have spent considerably on improving Rayleigh's High Street (including hanging baskets) and other areas such as
conservation Rochford. I resent the fact that the area of Great Wakering is treated as the poor man of the borough. I
tripped on the pavement which is badly broken in front of my daughter's house and banged by head badly. I phoned the
council offices but the pavement has still not been relaid. It's a disgrace and would not be tolerated in Rayleigh. How about
050 Mrs J Samuels some improvements for our area which also has historic churches and landmarks?
Design, landscaping and character are essential here, there and everywhere. Please look into parking in local streets near
051 Mrs D Langdon stations.
