SM4/BIR1 Rochford Nurseries

Land at Rochford Nurseries defined on the Inset Map, is proposed for comprehensive residential and associated development for 720 dwellings.

The following criteria must be met:

  • It provides for a mixed and balanced community;
  • It provides on or off site for a primary school, a primary health care centre, community facilities, suitable shopping and satisfactory open space and arrangements for sport and recreation;
  • It provides for substantial landscaping within the development boundaries to complement the layout and arrangement of buildings and may be required, by legal agreement, to provide off site landscaping.
  • It is designed to mitigate adverse effects upon existing residential and community interests and may be required, by legal agreement, to provide or contribute towards wider and longer term planning benefits reasonably associated with the alleviation of any such impact.

The provision of these and other relevant planning benefits will be regulated by legal agreement on the grant of associated planning permissions.

Development will need to be implemented in accordance with a master plan approved by the Council. This indicates how specific proposals, which may be implemented on a phased basis, will relate to an overall design concept for the site.
