| (1)Brownfield Residential Land Allocations | ||||
| Policy BFR1 – Star Lane Industrial Estate, Great Wakering | The Core Strategy (Policy H1) promotes the redevelopment of appropriate brownfield sites before greenfield land. |
This brownfield site is not delivered before greenfield
land in the general location of ‘West Great Wakering’
(Policy SER9b) which is adjacent to the site.
The southern section of the industrial estate precedes the northern section, or the northern section may not be developed . |
The Concept Statement provides flexibility in developing this brownfield site and takes into account potential different scenarios in terms of the timing of development, and stipulates appropriate mitigation measures. | Dwelling delivery will be monitored through the Annual Monitoring Reports or other reporting mechanism, as appropriate. |
| The reallocation of this “bad neighbour” industrial estate for alternative residential use is not delivered due to difficulties in land assembly, reluctance for owners to relocate business, and/or lack of available alternative locations for businesses. | This identified “bad neighbour” industrial estate will be allocated for alternative residential use. The Council will work with landowners, developers, business representatives and other stakeholders to ensure this is delivered. Alternative land for businesses to relocate to in more appropriate locations will be allocated. |
The use and development of employment land is monitored
as part of the Annual Monitoring Report or other
reporting mechanism, as appropriate.
The Council will also monitor employment land available by type as part of the Annual Monitoring Report or other reporting mechanism, as appropriate. |
||
| The Council will work with developers to ensure that the requirements set out in the Concept Statement are delivered. | Some of the infrastructure requirements, such as the Lifetime Homes Standard, affordable housing or SUDs, are demonstrated to be undeliverable. | A flexible approach will be maintained to ensure that where it can be shown that the requirement threatens the viability of a scheme, then the Council will work with developers to agree a suitable solution. | The delivery of SUDs, Lifetime Homes and affordable housing will be monitored through the Annual Monitoring Reports or other reporting mechanism, as appropriate. | |
| Policy BFR2 – Eldon Way/Foundry Industrial Estate, Hockley |
The Area Action Plan for Hockley town centre will be
produced by the Council with the input of specialist
consultants, using masterplanning work already
undertaken, and taking on board the views of local
stakeholders.
The Area Action Plan will be implemented in partnership with local developers and landowners. |
The Area Action Plan for Hockley is not delivered. The regeneration of the town centre, providing a safe, accessible environment with a range of retail uses, evening leisure activities and community facilities, is not achieved. |
The Area Action Plan for Hockley will be produced in
consultation with the local community to ensure that it
reflects local views and opportunities.
The Council will work with landowners and its partners to deliver the Area Action Plan. |
Surveys of retail areas are carried out on an annual
basis. A drop in the number of vacant units and a rise in
the total number of shops and facilities will indicate
success.
Revised retail and leisure studies will be carried out. Improvements in the town centre’s health assessment will be seen as an indicator of success. Other indicators of the performance of the Town Centre Area Action Plan will include levels of anti-social behaviour reported in the area. |
| Centres outside of the District draw retail expenditure away from Hockley and undermine regeneration potential of centre. | The Area Action Plan will identify actions to increase Hockley’s attractiveness to shoppers and visitors, centred upon its quality of environment, enabling it to compete with other centres. | |||
