Representation Summary:

The re-use of vacant brownfield land (formed by the southern section of Star Lane Industrial Estate) is welcome in principle.

A planning application (reference: 12/00252/FUL) which proposes 140 dwellings on the southern section of Star Lane Brickworks is currently pending determination. Cogent has submitted representations to the application, which supported the proposals in principle, whilst identifying a number of matters for consideration. We trust that these matters, which included the including the consideration of the effects of the proposals on the adjacent Local Wildlife Site (LWS); the desirability of improving public access to the LWS as part of the need to enhance publicly accessible greenspace provision within Great Wakering; and the cumulative effects of development proposals on existing infrastructure and facilities will be given due regard in the plan making process.
