How do we plan for and facilitate the delivery of our need for new homes over the next 20 years within the district?

New residential development should be focused as extensions to Tier 1 and 2 settlements
Delivering the need for new homes
Table 5 identifies the proposed settlement hierarchy for the District and which identifies;
Tier Settlements
1 Rayleigh; Rochford/Ashingdon; Hockley/Hawkwell
2 Hullbridge; Great Wakering
3 Canewdon
4 All other settlements
GVA consider that development within the District should be located where it is accessible to a range of transport options and where new housing is able to be served by sufficient community facilities to meet the needs of residents. We would support focusing development on the most sustainable settlements and in this respect consider that the Tier 1 and 2 settlements would in effect be the only locations where new housing could be located in any quantum.
In this respect, the Tier 3 and 4 settlements do not offer a suitable range of facilities to meet the need of new residents and consequently locating new development in these settlements, other than in a limited format which would lead to unsustainable pattern of development contrary to the wider Plan vision and national policy

What are the realistic options.
GVA would support Options 3 and 4 which would utilise land adjacent to existing settlements in order to deliver new housing. This would ensure that housing is delivered where it is accessible to existing social and community infrastructure and in close proximity to existing sustainable modes of travel.
In particular, GVA would suggest that new development should be located adjacent to Tier 1 and 2 settlements where such facilities are focused.
The Land at Pooles Lane at Hulbridge, which is a Tier 2 settlement provides such a suitable location for growth
