Hall Road Application Comes Up Next Wednesday

There’s an extra meeting of the District Council Development Committee next Wednesday 18th January.

It’s to discuss just one application – but its one of the biggest we’ve ever seen in the district. This is for about 600 new homes , a new primary school and new public open space off Hall Road in rochford.

It’s got it’s own webpage on the council website here. The officers report for teh application is pretty massive – about 88 pages. You can download that report here. (2.4 Mb)

Such a long report is difficult to summarise in a few sentences. But the essentials are:

  • This is only an outline application – all the details would follow later.
  • The District Council’s new Core Strategy includes this amount of housing in “West Rochford” -but not specifically in this location.
  • Officers believe this is the best location in West Rochford, and recommend that the council tells the government it supports the application.
  • Local residents are objecting
  • There is a lot of stuff here for councillors to study before the meeting.
