New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Stage 2 Assessment Area 78, site 49, parcel P45
I've frequently travelled through Hockley and Rochford for work, education and socialising for the past 15 years, recently settling on the Eastbury Park development. I've seen various changes in that time and regularly pass Pindi Nursery - I've seen a decline to the state of the keeping and feel it's becoming unsightly and in need of some TLC and development.
I know from personal experience when recently looking for a house that new residential properties are at an almost constant need to be built, and there is high demand for this location as well. It is in what's considered a sustainable area for such a development.
The other option would be to refurbish the nursery itself. I would suggest this would be expensive, more than it would warrant, and perhaps no guarantee that it would be worthwhile either. If a new development were to be built, it would give the area a more pleasant appearance and bring some much needed life to that part of the community.
I would conclude that a continuation of the residential area close by would be the best for the site and the community in general.
