HPPG believes that due to shortage of available building land, housing development in and around Hockley should be minimal, and must include starter homes and affordable housing.Hockley must remain as a distinct community with clear boundaries and green spaces between Hockley and neighbouring parishes. Town centre development must maintain the village character of Hockley, and include specialist shops. It must consider suitable facilities for people with disabilities.. Historic and listed buildings must be preserved. It is essential that the countryside in and around Hockley, including wods, footpaths, bridleways, play areas, playing fields and nature reserves are preserved 100%.

HPPG objects to the redevelopment of Eldon Way Industrial Estate for residential purposes. The proposal was not included in the October 2008 version, hence did not go through public consultation. It is unacceptable to Hockley residents because: Hockley Parish Plan published October 2007 recommends no housing development in Hockley, and, if enforced, must not include large housing estates or the loss of greenbelt (both criteria have been ignored). A Resident Survey completed October 2009 concluded that only 13% of residents supported redevelopment of Eldon Way and, if redeveloped, housing development received only just over 1% of response support..

Hockley must remain pollution free in terms of air quality, noise lighting, and mobile phone masts. This is particularly important following Southend Airport's expansion planning application.

HPPG believes that there are not enough doctors and dentists available if Eldon Way is redeveloped for housing. The patient to doctor and dentist ratios in Hockley are probably the worst in South East Essex

HPPG believes the plan is unsustainable in and around Hockley due to insufficient highway networks to support additional population numbers and traffic volumes with the majority of additional housing planned east of Hockley. Roads into Hockley are already highly congested at peak times. The Hockley Parish Plan published October 2007 states that Hockley roads cannot support additional vehicles without expensive improvements such as a bypass. A Resident Survey October 2009 concludes that traffic flow through Hockley will be at gridlock, especially, at the Spa roundabout, following Core Strategy housing proposals, Airport expansion proposals and Eldon Way redevelopment proposals
