Stambridge Mills Application

The Echo reports here on a big planning application for housing at Stambridge Mills:

PLANS have gone in for a huge housing development at a derelict mill site on the banks of the River Roach.
The proposals for 163 homes at Stambridge Mills, Mill Lane, near Rochford, have been put together by developers the Inner London Group.
The multi-million-pound development to build 28 houses and 135 flats involves demolishing some of the existing mill buildings and refurbishing others. ….

This site is included in the Council’s Local Development Framework documents:

The document says:

Stambridge Mills is located north of the River Roach, and just south of
Stambridge Road. The site is just east of Rochford town centre. The site is
surrounded by agricultural fields. It was noted in the Urban Capacity Study
that this is a disused brownfield site and is suitable for housing allocation.
The site has good access to the highway network and links to Rochford town
centre and its associated uses. However this site is located within a flood
zone and this must be mitigated against prior to any development. The site
would however afford good opportunities for the creation of a strong
defensible green belt boundary.
