I can not see that this provides the existing residents of Hockley with any benefits, namely:
1) Demolishing the existing industrial estate will loose greatly needed local jobs. Having spent most of 2012 with two of us in this household unemployed (one still is) I know how difficult it is to find any local work.
2) No consideration provided within the proposal to provide local needed amenities such as Doctors, Dentists and school places for all the new residents you expect to live in the new development. It's already hard enough to get a Doctors appointment in Hockley at the moment without adding new residents.
3) No consideration provided within the proposal to the impact that this will have on the local area and wider local area once combined with the other large residential proposals currently proposed for Hawkwell and the Hawkwell end of Hall Road Rochford. In particular, again the impact these combined proposals will have upon doctors, dentists, schools and the parking that will now be needed at Hockley Railway Station for those commuters who move into the new Hawkwell development.
4) Increased traffic along Southend Road and Great Eastern Road Hockley which are already struggling during peak times.
