Option WGW2, this option has two separate unconnected parcels, which do not follow existing field boundaries so it would be difficult to create defensible boundaries, contrary to PPG2.
Option WGW3, this option has three fragmented parcels around the settlement. Two of the parcels relate well to the existing settlement, however, the largest southernmost parcel is detached from Great Wakering and would extend further south than the existing settlement, very close to the boundary with Southend. This option would not have defensible boundaries and would result in coalescence with the built-up area of Southend, contrary to PPG2.
Option WGW4, this option involves a single parcel to the south of the brickworks, which is detached from the existing settlement and would extend further south than the existing settlement, very close to the boundary with Southend. This option would not have defensible boundaries and would result in coalescence with the built-up area of Southend, contrary to PPG2.
Option WGW5, is located adjacent to the existing settlement but extends further west, which raises concerns with sustainability in terms of accessing facilities and services and the creation of a defensible Green Belt boundary.
The preferred option is WGW1 as this is developed in one location and is close to the High Street, and as such would add to the cohesion of the existing settlement.
