Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 18406

Received: 30/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Fiona Jury

Representation Summary:

We have serious concerns relating to the deliverability and developability of some of the housing sites identified within the SHLAA, and also the sources of supply. The Council's strategy is over-reliant on the redevelopment of four existing employment sites which are currently not deliverable. Furthermore, the development of land to the north of London Road, Rayleigh, is highly dependent on the provision of new infrastructure, and will result in the loss of high quality agricultural land. There are alternative sites on the edge of Rayleigh (SHLAA Site 129), which offers a more sustainable development option.
