Hockley Regeneration Plan – How could this affect Hawkwell?

March 10, 2009 by Editor 

 But how could this affect Hawkwell?  Apart from the obvious that many, many people from Hawkwell regard Hockley Village as a place for public resources and shopping – one of the Options (2.1) involves building up to 200 houses/apartments on the Eldon Way Industrial Estate.  Is this the best Option ignoring the interests of protecting Hawkwell’s green belt?  Where would the industrial users go?  To the proposed new industrial area at the Airport. If this Option were chosen then the total number of houses that are proposed to be built on green belt in Hawkwell could be reduced from 330 to 130 which in turn could be built on a brown field site like the industrial site at Magees in Hawkwell.

 
If this is what Hawkwell would prefer then Hawkwell residents need to say so in the Hockley Town Centre Consultation.  It is up to you !! Is this a better place for development?  A re-use of a brown field site?  But remember that green belt is being proposed for industrial use at the airport.  But is this a better place for this development?  Does it make more sense than an industrial estate in the centre of Hockley?
Don’t forget to tie up your thoughts with the concurrent consultation on the airport.
