204 Mr R Gould As before<br />

205 Mrs Whitham It is important to keep the landscaping correct, be it for industrial or housing.<br />

4.10.2 says appearance <strong>of</strong> a proposal and relationship to surroundings is important to determining proposals & appeals.<br />

You remember the 'doctor's house' @ 1 Southend Road was on the Council's 'Local List' . This listed local buildings <strong>of</strong><br />

historic, architectural or visual interest. It was informal and did not provide same protection as Grade Listing "..owners<br />

encouraged not to demolish", but were advised to apply for Grade Listing as soon as possible. Cynic<strong>all</strong>y, the list was<br />

omitted from revised District Plan, facilitating demolition ahead <strong>of</strong> appeal on 1 Southend Road, on grounds that, to quote<br />

head <strong>of</strong> <strong>Planning</strong> Poilcy, Government "frowned on" Local Lists (though other LPAs kept them). Grounds for refusal <strong>of</strong> 13<br />

flats at Committee November 2004 omitted mention <strong>of</strong> the house. Head <strong>of</strong> <strong>Planning</strong> Policy commented later on objections:<br />

"Just politics, lot <strong>of</strong> local interest, nothing <strong>of</strong> character in that area". 4.10.5 - Strategy adds insult to injury: "Council dropped<br />

210 Mrs M A King Landscaping is an <strong>all</strong> important feature with any building project trying to keep to original character where possible.<br />

Unable to fully reply to this question except to say that both design and types <strong>of</strong> construction ought to be sympathetic to<br />

211 Mr B W Williams locations.<br />

I find respect for each town and villages historic character as rather much a joke as Rayleigh's prehistoric settlement history<br />

is not recognised and the most historic town is <strong>of</strong>ten assumed as Rochford. Design and landscaping are not important in the<br />

212 Master J Richards built up town <strong>of</strong> Rayleigh and built up villages <strong>of</strong> Rochfrod and Hockley.<br />

Design and landscaping are important but they should not be a deterrent to development - not sure what is meant by 'a local<br />

list' but if this is a list <strong>of</strong> required features it <strong>all</strong> depends what is on the list. Planners should be there to assist not to act as a<br />

deterrent.<br />

215 Mr T R Thompson No <strong>all</strong> areas deserve design and landscaping.<br />

Design and landscaping is always important. If design/landscaping is poor it will be undesirable to local residents. I'd say<br />

219 Mr J Amey<br />

character is currently about right. Rayleigh is a pleasant place to live.<br />

220 Mrs S Clarke I think character is always important. Property could be built to blend with local area.<br />

222 R Luck I do not think it is right to say any area is unimportant. A local list is a good idea as it could be used to encourage tourism.<br />

224 Mr K S Gee The area around Bullwood H<strong>all</strong> and Turret House (East side <strong>of</strong> Hockley Road) must be protected (special landscape area).<br />

The requirement for Design and Access Statements should hopefully meet the Council's objective <strong>of</strong> seeking to preserve or<br />

225 Mr P Court<br />

enhance the existing quality <strong>of</strong> the built environment.<br />

226 Mrs A Hill I believe design and landscaping is always important - pride in whatever.<br />

227 Mr & Mrs Haskew I like to see grass verges. I like the landscaping on Ashingdon Road <strong>of</strong>f Meesons Mead. Yes - think you have got this right.<br />

Design and landscape are very important everywhere. Who enjoys looking at the plainness or brutality <strong>of</strong> the ugly flat<br />

230 V G Crick Design and landscaping is important in <strong>all</strong> areas.<br />

Keeping the local character is very important, a good job has been done on the housing and refurbishment <strong>of</strong> Rochford and<br />

Rayleigh. Rochford town could be much improved by rebuilding the east end <strong>of</strong> the market square to get rid <strong>of</strong> the ugly<br />
