The proposal to increase the housing stock in large numbers to the west of Gt. Wakering is neither justified nor effective. The Government state that this recession/period of austerity (economic policy) will continue for the next 10 years. The housing market especially for 1st time buyers is moribund whereas the proposal to build some 140 plus properties on the site of the defunct 'Star Lane' brickworks is about the most that village requires. However, there are no plans to significantly improve the local infrastructure, (it is already taking traffic from Rochford to the new developments in Shoebury along basically country lanes eg Shopland Road). More houses, much more children, more vehicles, how can this village contend with the proposed (DPD) increase levels?
In my opinion this aspect calls into question both the effectiveness and the soundness of the proposals for this village up to 2021 and beyond.
