Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

WGW1 and the land to the west of Alexandra are the most suitable sites for the expansion of Great Wakering. This combined area forms a logical extension to the proposed residential allocation at Star Lane Industrial Estate (including the former brickworks). Development would have minimal impact on the openness the Green Belt because it would be 'visually contained' within the arc of existing built development. The 'lakes' would provide a defensible boundary to the south. The alternative sites put forward all have substantial disadvantages, and there would no benefit in spreading development over several sites. No additional release is required.
