Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 15321
Received: 04/05/2016
Respondent: Wiggins Gee Homes Ltd
Agent: David Russell Associates
There are 9 allocations with potential to deliver early in the plan period and help relieve the current significant shortfall in supply. These allocations have a total capacity of around 390 new dwellings and are:
Wates Way Industrial Estate
Essex County Fire Brigade HQ
Warley Training Centre
Westbury Road Car Park
Chatham Way/Crown Street Car Park
Hunter House Western Road
Sow and Grow Nursery Pilgrims Hatch
Ingatestone Garden Centre
Ingatestone Bypass
Among these, 2 are currently town centre car parks, a further 2 are public service establishments, whose future may be liable to further public service review. Added to this would be the delivery from planning permissions already given but yet to be implemented; an allowance from permitted development conversions of offices to
residential, and a windfall site allowance. The net result is an annual production of around 150 to 200. This leaves the Draft Local Plan struggling to meet its target.
