075 Mr K A Cooke
The scale and pace of development and overcrowding has all but removed any character from Rochford and Rayleigh
District Council. Buildings with any historic interset are such a tiny percentage we could be living in suburbon London for all
the differnece there is.
Much of the character of the area has already been spoilt by the unsympathetic development of the 1960's and 1970's, we
076 Ms G Lunn
must ensure that our generation does not compound this further by ugly over development.
You may have it about right. All areas are important and should be cared for and landscaped. Keep the character rural,
East Anglian - not urban, not London overspill - leave that to Kent, Surrey and Herts which have long been spoilt that way.
077 Cllr Glen Dryhurst What is a "local list"?
078 David & Jeanne More important matters to consider.
The list sounds good. Rayleigh lost its weatherboarded cottage it's a true shame they were not valued. Hockley has greatly
079 Mrs S Clark
improved of late, as has Rayleigh.
I can't see any benefits in drawing up a list greater emphasis should be applied to the design and construction of new builds.
080 Mr C Hathaway New housing estates should have to include adequate play areas for children.
082 Mr J Adkin I think the council has got this balance corect and I do support the local list.
084 Miss M Andrews Would not be keen to see a site developed for gypsies and travellers.
085 C G Tabar All areas - design and landscaping are important.
Yes, where there is building it must be kept within the character of the area it is being built in . Not sure what good a list
086 Mr M Gorman
would do.
087 Mr I Walker There are no areas where design and landscaping are not important! I support a local list (within reason).
088 Miss S Thackeray Local list? Design and landscaping should always be important if it looks appealing it will be used and valued.
091 Ms P Bailey What is a local list
092 Mrs M Hills The character of the area is right.
093 Mrs M J Owoo I feel you have got this right.
094 F A Browne I consider that design and landscaping are always important and I support the idea of a local list.
095 Mr J Britton See comments
Yes I think this area will never/had never appeared on chocolate box lids! Protect character but don't try to keep the area in
096 Mr W Roberts
a time warp.
097 Mr & Mrs Newman Our only comment is that the work that is being done to improve the character of Rochford takes too long!
We should continue to try and keep the character of our towns and villages. Even industrial areas need some design and
099 Mr & Mrs R G Headley landscaping. A few trees and flowers make a lot of difference.
South East Essex is probably one of the most characterless areas of the country. We lack many interesting natural
characteristics which have been taken away over time with relentless building programmes. More emphasis needs to be
placed on returning character to the area. Southend sea-front is a good example of how 'character' and life has been
100 Mr R Scates
restored to a feature of the area.
Are your new parks attracting anybody other than dog walkers? A council produced book on local walks with points and
places of interest may be a thought. This could be produced and sold in and around Rochford. Farmers markets at a time
when working people can access, with a place to park. Rayleigh seems to be undergoing expansion westwards, and the
town centre looks good. Rochford on the other hand is stuck in a time warp, mainly consisting on dingy dark pubs for the

boys.
104 B Aspinall The character of our area has been systematically destroyed this past 10/15 years
