To meet the number of new jobs required in the District, if existing employment sites are de-allocated, then additional employment sites will be required. As the supply of employment land within the District is limited, any new sites will require the release of Green Belt land. As these sites will be outside of the existing urban areas, it is unlikely that these sites will be in as sustainable locations as the current employment sites.
This site is well located with regards the strategic road network and as such it is considered to be a sustainable location
It is also noted that Great Wakering is proposed to have an additional 250 new dwellings as one the preferred housing options. Combined with the housing proposed with the Star Lane Industrial Estate, this would significantly increase the size of the settlement, without providing sufficient employment opportunities. This would increase the level of out commuting and given the characteristics of the District, the majority of this would be by private car.
