Issues and Options Document public consultation now open!
The Issues and Options Document public
consultation is now open and will run for a period of 12 weeks, closing at 5pm
on Wednesday 7 March 2018. We are encouraging all residents, businesses and other
stakeholders to make their views known and help to shape the future of your
district.
The Issues and Options Document is the first
stage of Rochford District Council’s new Local Plan, which will set out the
vision and strategy for the district up to 2037. The Document sets out a range
of identified challenges and opportunities facing the district over the next 20
years, including how and where new homes should delivered, how to support and
grow the local economy and jobs, what infrastructure will be needed and where,
and how we will preserve our natural and historic environments. It is accompanied by a Sustainability Appraisal which examines the key sustainability issues with the identified options. The Issues and
Options Document is your first opportunity to get involved in your new Local
Plan and to help shape the future for your district.
The fastest and easiest way to view and comment
on the Issues and Options Document is online at www.rochford.gov.uk/iao.
Alternatively, paper reference copies and response forms will be available at
Rochford and Rayleigh Council offices, Parish/Town Council offices and all
local libraries during normal opening hours.
