Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

I write further to a telephone conversation this afternoon with the Planning Policy Department in respect of the above. I was informed that there is still an opportunity to put forward sites for consideration in the Allocations DPD and SHLAA.

Attached is a brownfield site 1.3ha in size, rectangular in shape, flat and fronts onto the north side of Eastwood Road (A1015) which links Rayleigh to Eastwood. The address is Rayleigh Garden Centre, Eastwood Road, Rayleigh, Essex, SS6 7QA.

The site is currently in use as a Garden Centre located adjacent to the settlement edge, albeit within the Green Belt. Subject to a change in the Green Belt Boundary (a requirement recognised in the Core Strategy), this site is ideally located and suited for a housing or employment use.

May I therefore respectfully request that this site is considered for inclusion in the Allocations DPD and SHLAA.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information.
