359 Mr New The district is short <strong>of</strong> large park areas, long distance walks and open spaces. New development should blend<br />

The Council on the basis <strong>of</strong> soundess principles should not introduce local designations in order to resist development<br />

proposals. Where landscape and built form characteristics are worthy <strong>of</strong> nation<strong>all</strong>y recognised designations, these should<br />

form the basis <strong>of</strong> continued landscape protection or historic protection. Other criteria/sequenti<strong>all</strong>y based policies also<br />

provide a sound basis against which to resist built development in sensitive locations. The Council is aware that Design and<br />

Access Statements are now a requirement <strong>of</strong> the P&CPA 2004 for major developemnt proposals and therefore there is no<br />

separate requirement for such statements to be specific<strong>all</strong>y advocated as part <strong>of</strong> the application process. Landscaping is<br />

important to development and good design however, it is not always appropriate to seek to agree <strong>all</strong> details <strong>of</strong> a scheme as<br />

part <strong>of</strong> a current planning application and the use <strong>of</strong> appropriately worded conditions to be discharged prior to<br />

implementation can address the necessary detail and agreement with the Council. Policies for lifetime home standards<br />

366 Mr S J Springham Government to build in less heavily populated areas <strong>of</strong> the country.<br />

369 Mr & Mrs Gauden Sorry but the characters <strong>of</strong> Rochford and Ashingdon have already been spoilt by too much development.<br />

Design and landscaping is always important and so is the consideration <strong>of</strong> existing residents. Has the option <strong>of</strong> underground<br />

or parti<strong>all</strong>y underground buildings been investigated. It may be more expensive but should be more environment<strong>all</strong>y<br />

friendly. Maybe developers should contribute a percentage <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>its towards such projects, for every conventional build<br />

they should build and environment<strong>all</strong>y friendly house.
