300 Mrs Upson<br />

I have answered this to the best <strong>of</strong> my ability. Note housing. I was nine years old from 9 <strong>of</strong> us living in one room since I<br />

was born 2 adults 7 children. Council house then in Dagenham then the war, those who married on a list and had to wait till<br />

a lot <strong>of</strong> London was cleared then ? for 10 years, I wonder why they have not come back to help the housing problem ? to<br />

Rayleigh so I consider I do know what it is like for people on those lists for housing are told (no room at the Inn, my husband<br />

was told that, 4 years ? ? service when he came home again from abroad 1945. Is it just pep talk.<br />

2.2 Principle aims The RSPB is pleased to see that Rochford District Council ('the Council') wishes to improve the diversity<br />

and quality <strong>of</strong> the environment. In order to ensure this target is met, we recommend that the Council consider <strong>all</strong> planning<br />

applications against their ability to avoid or minimise adverse environmental impacts, reduce energy and water consumption<br />

and deliver biodiversity gains. 2.5 & 2.17 Green spaces The RSPB recommends that the Council assess proposals<br />

against their ability to provide an environment accessible to <strong>all</strong>, incorporating multifunctional green spaces delivering wide<br />

benefits for both people and wildlife. The RSPB believes that green spaces are vital not only for wildlife but for the<br />

communitities around them. Green spaces provide opportunities for recreation and education as well as contributing to<br />

pollution reduction and flood risk management. The Council should be seeking to incorporate existing green spaces and<br />

features into developments wherever possible, and continu<strong>all</strong>y seeking new opportunities for multifunctional green space<br />

302 Mr B Short Ensure that travellers etc are removed from illegal sites quickly.<br />

I expect the council to fight central government on the issue <strong>of</strong> 4,600 new homes in this area. Hockley/Hawkwell do not<br />

wish to become suburbs <strong>of</strong> Southend and the increased traffic from new development and the rise in air travel expected<br />

303 Mr K Hatfield<br />

from Southend Airport is intollerable. Don't you think the community has suffered enough from over development!<br />

Rochford needs to be a little more sophisticated like Leigh with good shops and cafes. Rochford is getting very down<br />

market and the yobs are winning. I certainly don't walk in Rochford in the evening you need to do more to brighten, enliven<br />

304 Mr A Rutter<br />

the town before it's too late.<br />

Tot<strong>all</strong>y against any type <strong>of</strong> Southend relief road in Rochford area. If Southend need one then there is enough space in their<br />

local area to contain this idea. Encourage more local transport schemes or subsidise current bus companies etc. Hockley<br />

is in need <strong>of</strong> an area or club for youngsters and needs an "upmarket" type <strong>of</strong> bar/restaurant. Do you re<strong>all</strong>y want to see <strong>all</strong><br />

307 Mr J Snow<br />

our free monies going out <strong>of</strong> the Council area ...... ie Southend.<br />

Council tax cannot keep going up at current rates without pension increases to match or it will become unpayable and more<br />

<strong>of</strong> us will have little option but to default. Prison threats are no good if the money isn't there! This needs to be borne in<br />

308 The Occupier<br />

mind in costs <strong>of</strong> plans.<br />

By <strong>all</strong> methods and means possible the Rochford area needs to maintain its very pleasant rural aspect for its appreciating<br />

309 Mr J Smith<br />

resident community.<br />

311 Mrs P A Watson Jones<br />

I think it is about time the local council listened to the residents they are supposed to be serving. There seems to be too<br />

many controversial developments in this area being <strong>all</strong>owed to go ahead with relative ease. Many <strong>of</strong> these plans are tot<strong>all</strong>y<br />

unthought through, unnecessary and only seem to serve the purpose <strong>of</strong> making certain people vast sums <strong>of</strong> money. Rather<br />

than benefit the local area's ecology and residents. Time and time again I am seeing vast chunks <strong>of</strong> green land disappear<br />

forever to provide us with another cramped housing estate or another industrial estate. Please think about what you are<br />

doing before it is <strong>all</strong> gone and Hockley becomes another district <strong>of</strong> London, with nose to tail traffic and thick polluted air.<br />

There are plenty <strong>of</strong> empty premises which can be taken for new job opportunities and businesses. Why create yet another<br />

estate which uses up more precious land.
