The use of the Eldon Way/Foundry Estate site in Hockley is unsound, as the local facilities especially relating to Cully's Gym and the Sorting Office (for collecting parcels that cannot be delivered), would be lost to local residents. The airport site is too far to travel for these facilities. Cully's Gym is available for local elderly and disabled people as well as for the general public. There is a fairly large population of these demographic groups in and around Hockley. Extra housing on these sites would increase pressure on the roads, which are already congested at peak times. The shopping facilities in the village would not be able to cope with more housing, unless substantially diversified and developed.
