Hello fellow residents,

Bad news I'm afraid on two fronts, the Green Belt Assessment has been drafted and will be voted on 27/08 by the Rochford Council Planning Policy Committee and secondly Bellway have submitted their Planning Application for Lower Wyburns Farm (see below).

GREEN BELT ASSESSMENT DRAFTED:

• Who: Rochford District Council
• What: Asked a consultancy firm to carry out a Green Belt assessment of all Rochfords current Green Belt land.
• Why: Re-assess the current Green Belt to see if additional land could move to Grey Belt in order to allow further development.
• Where: This impacts Lower Wyburns Farm which was originally Green Belt but has now been re-assessed as Grey Belt.
• When: We have until 27/08 to contact councillors prior to their Planning Policy Committee meeting on 27/08 to provide feedback.
• Action: Contact your Local Councillors and provide Feedback asap

PLANNING APPLICATION SUBMITTED:

• Who: Bellway
• What: Submitted their Planning Application on 14/08.
• Why: They waited for a draft publication of the "Green Belt Assessment" paper first, then submitted their application.
• Where: This impacts Lower Wyburns Farm North & South plots, with houses planned for the South side (A127side) and green area including walkways and a park on the North side (Nevern Close side).
• When: We have until roughly 02/09 to contact Local Councillors to object.
