331 Mr A C Cooper
Has a secondary water system been considered for irrigation purposes. I believe this is used in some parts of the world to
reduce use of purified drinking water. Where does Rochford get its water supplies? To my knowledge, the only reservoir
that has been built in the last 50 years in this area is Hanningfield? What does 'renewable energy provision' mean? I know
of nothing that is commercially viable yet to replace coal, oil or gas.
Being energy efficient is very important but more could be done by Government and local councils. Wind farms always
seem to be sited where they stick out like a sore thumb why not site them around and ontop of industrial areas Tilbury
Docks etc. Turbines could be mounted under Southend Pier and similar positions. Solar panels on the roofs of factories
332 Mr & Mrs Jones etc.
333 Mr & Mrs Hopkins You could also include solar panels for all new buildings.
It would be good if there was development and grants for rainwater, or bathwater saving for the older houses also. I
334 Mrs Amey
suppose water metering is going to become compulsory.
347 Mr C Rooke I am all for encouraging renewable energy. All development should be compatible with such policies.
349 Ms C Paine Individual wind turbine/solar panels on all new buildings.
352 Cllr Joyce Smith Not sure about this one - needs a lot of research and fact finding first.
With all the present new developments already putting extra strain on utilities and creating pollution and wear and tear strain
by their numbers to date, it makes sense to do everything reasonable to cut down on damage to the locality now and in the
354 Mrs Smith
future. Solar and wind harnessing make sense, using common sense.
The Parish Council and its residents clearly favour and expansion of the kirb-side collection for recyclable materials.
355 Mr K Vingoe
Historically, the civic amenity behind the library, has performed well in the collection of recyclable material.
Good idea, but we are concerned that the additional costs will just be passed on to property buyers and make housing less
356 Mr & Mrs D Dobbin affordable.
358 Mr & Mrs England Some should be stringent ie rainwater storage, some areas encourage
All renewable energy/sustainable development policies should relate to the site's circumstances, viability and a realistic
assessment of what is achievable on each individual site. The application of set targets at unrealistically high levels can
stymie development proposals. A target of 10% is being applied at various locations across the country and in line with this
encouragement policy all policies should be drafted on the basis of seeking to achieve a target rather than refusing
362 Ms M Power
applications that do not meet rigid policy requirements.
The existing building regulations should be followed by the Council. The council should only impose additional requirement
366 Mr S J Springham when these are made a government requirement.
369 Mr & Mrs Gauden Encouragement is enough. Most people are willing to conserve energy and water.
The profits of developing our greenbelt areas should be put towards an environmentally friendly solution to solve our energy
and water problems. Rather than lining the pockets of big companies, the money should be used as a financial contribution
370 Mr G Biner
to make existing properties more enviornmentally friendly.
