1020. Current dwellings in Rawreth 373 which equates to 270% increase. Totally out of proportion to any other town or parish in district.

Full text:

When you study the facts, that of the 1785 dwellings proposed in the Rochford District to the year 2021 (excluding brown-field additions), the Rawreth Parish will have to absorb 800 from the basic housing allocation, all on Green Belt released land, and a massive total of 1020 dwellings when the 220 on Brown-Field at the Rawreth Industrial Estate are included.
Currently there are just 373 dwellings in Rawreth and no other town, village or settlement in the district has been allocated such an unfair increase. This scale of this development, which equates to an increase in Rawreth, of approximately 270%, is totally out of proportion to what any other town or parish in the district has been allocated in terms of additional dwellings.
This makes a mockery of RDC's Policy statement of "Fair shares for all".
