Definitely not for housing. Housing is vastly outstripping the infrastructure that should go with it. Retail outlets in the village have, over recent years, been slowly diminishing. Numerous shops have been closed down and mostly converted to flats. It would appear the majority of residents are happy to travel to Rayleigh and Hockley for their shopping or of course go online.
Open space is adequate now but if some of the possible sites shown on your map ie land along Long Lane and Pooles Lane are built on the resulting housing estates will greatly diminish this valuable natural open space.
