The demographic you envisage for Rochford doesn’t match the housing you are proposing to build.
You state that there will be 40% increase in the population over 70 years of age but the list of types of housing required does not include accommodation for this demographic - eg bungalows, care homes, retirement villages, warden controlled homes. You also state that there will be higher requirement for care but there is no mention of providing homes with an annex for elderly relatives/older teenagers/younger people in their 20’s. To enable families that can/are able to provide care to their elderly relatives would reduce the burden on state provision. You are not matching your expected demographic to the homes you are intending to supply.
