Around existing settlements, to reduce travel. The important factors are a company which can survive and not pollute the
environment.
Jobs - aer we supplying for people outside our area, thus putting further strain on transport? Is it about the council
sustaining their income in lates? The industrial areas should continue to be away from private accommodation eg houses,
but, with good access to major road systems, existing brownfield sites should be looked at.
New employment sites should be pleasant places to work in, but should not be an eyesore or a blot on the landscape. Most
of our local sites are relatively small, unobtrusive and seemingly well used (eg Weir site and Shotgate). How many
residents of the Rawreth Lane industrial and leisure site work a short walk from their homes? [There should be some
tangible incentive given to those wish to live close to their place of employment - Government money].
178 Mr D Livermore
Enough with this! Create jobs for houses, houses for jobs, it's a vicious circle. The major issue here is that the south east is
at breaking point just servicing London it doesn't need more and more people, more and more jobs and industry, more and
more over-crowding, more and more lawlessness more and more disaffected teenagers with less and less open space.
179 Mrs F M Wilson Plenty of existing industrial sites around which are empty - as more businesses move abroad or go bust.
No new land should be used for jobs. Exisiting industrial estates should be used wherever possible. Jobs and housing
should be co-located. It doesn't seem sensible to locate jobs in one part of the district and housing in another. I see
Sainsbury's are developing on Rayleigh Weir site. They have a one storey site with massive car park occupying much land -
180 Mr R Swain
if this was 4 storey with a 4 storey car park it would occupy one quarter of the land freeing space for development.
181 Mrs M R Hutchings Making sure there is shopping and transport for people to travel to get to work, before you start building.
182 Mrs V Wisbey Existing industrial estates need to be re-furbished to encourage investors and big business
183 Tomassi Existing sites are suitable to be developed first.
Both jobs and housing have to accessible before either are provided the roads and other infrastructure must be improved.
The statement that "if more roads are built, more people will use them" also applies to housing ie the more you build the
184 Mr T L Ellis
more people will live in them! Roads and parking first!
185 Mr J K Mills Develop 'brown field' sites and also the old brick fields in Great Wakering and in Cherry Orchard Way in Rochford.
187 Mrs K Jesty Industrial areas should be expanded or used appropriately as the infrastructure is in place already

Don't know where you get the magic number of 2000 new jobs that need accommodating. Need is implying that these jobs
exist now! That only the land is missing and you quote 'aviation related business' which suggests expansion at the airport, a
strange conundrum for a council to put to it's residents when under the guise of global warming the government is
considering 'green taxes' whatever that means, to keep all but the wealthy out of aeroplanes. You need to re-think this one.
The problem with the area is that there are few quality jobs. Improvements in the local infrastructure would make the area
more attractive to businesses.
Existing industrial estates are the natural choice to develop furhter. Although lorry traffic is a problem, with a particular the
signpost standard poor. In addition new development should be close to railway access with water transport if practicable.
Development of existing Southend Airport - always talked about but nothing happens. Would bring new jobs and those that
work at airport would want to live near it. Liverpool Street trains could provide better travelling facilities eg air con.
Many existing industrial sites are under used with empty buildings/offices on them. New industry is better kept to the
outskirts of towns and should be in keeping with the landscape. Preferably screened with trees!
