Are there going to be Major Housing Developments in the East of Rochford and Southend?
November 16, 2008 by Editor · 3 Comments
If you need any evidence of how quickly things change in politics look no further than Southend Borough Council.
On 28 October in the Echo, Anna Waite, Planning Supremo at Southend Council on the possibility of NEW plans to build 10,000 new homes in the next 20 years on land at Fossetts Farm and Bournes Green, Southend said:
“This scheme is ill-conceived, unsustainable and very undesirable.
“I believe we should be protecting the green belt from housing developments and farming our agricultural land to sustain the population.
“I shall be opposing this proposal, which I strongly believe the residents of east Southend do not want.”

The Rochford Housing Plan – The figures RDC doesn’t want us to see
This article is an “exclusive” that Brian Guyett, Chairman of The Hockley Residents’ Association asked us to publish.
The table below summarises the proposals in RDC’s Core Strategy and also shows residents’ current understanding of the ‘true’ locations.
RDC does not seem to want us to see these figures. They are not summarised in the Core Strategy and we all know by now that some of the descriptions are misleading, to say the least. Neither are they mentioned in the special edition of Rochford Matters.
