To meet the number of new jobs required in the RSS, if sites are de-allocated, then additional employment sites will be required. As the supply of employment land within the District is limited, any new sites will require the release of Green Belt land. As these sites will be outside of the existing urban areas, it is unlikely that these sites will be in as sustainable locations as the existing employment sites.
This site is well located with regards the strategic road network and as such it is considered to be a sustainable location
In addition, it is noted that Great Wakering is proposed to have an additional 250 new dwellings as one the preferred housing options (WGW). Combined with the housing proposed with the Star Lane Industrial Estate and Star Lane Industrial Estate, would significantly increase the size of the settlement, without providing sufficient employment opportunities. This would increase the level of out commuting and given the characteristics of the District, the majority of this would be by private car.
Instead of developing the whole site for residential, it would be more appropriate to redevelop the site for a mixed use scheme, including an element of new purpose built commercial space to meet current employment demands, in accordance with the provisions of PPS1 and PPS4.
