The council should be aiming lower. Affordable housing is a major issue for youngsters that want to get on the housing
ladder, but I still would not like to see the area so overcrowded. It effects the whole balance jobs transport road congestion.
Build more prefabricated housing on disused brownfield sites - charging lower rents to oung coupled/families unable to

afford the more expensive firsttime housing - encourage them to save by assisting with a first time mortgage.
More affordable housing should be made available. But it should first be offered to the children who have grown up in
Rayleigh and whose parents have contributed to the area. My son is unable to afford a house in the area he grew up in

which is sad. So should he not have the first offer?
Yes new starter homes for the young are required not more OAP flats and large 5/6 bedroom houses. Ample parking for
201 Mr M Thomas
developments in an area that does not have saturation impact on its present community and resources.
202 K Cardnell Affordable housing in Hullbridge is insufficient.
No, property overpriced both existing and new and when it does come to an area certain jobs get preferential treatment ie
203 M T Conaty
police, fire brigade, NHS all jobs should be treated the same.
204 Mr R Gould No
205 Mrs Whitham You should think long about it before adding another large food store, yes cheaper houses are needed not brick boxes.
There is certainly a shortage of cheaper homes in the area. This has been made worse by giving planning permission to
developers to turn perfectly serviceable bungalows into 4 be houses, a few of which demonstrate the tendency to always be
on the market! Whilst there are still many people who cannot afford a big mortgage, we need to prevent these builder
concersions, limiting the planning consents in such cases to the modernisation of the existing space. Affordability - this is a
word that seems to have changed its meaning during my lifetime. It used to be that to buy your own home was equal to 10
years of your employment income and you had to prove your determination to save for it by saving the equivalent of three
years wages. That would get you a simple two bedroomed home. The current thinking is that you save out of the leftovers
of your wages and of course there never are any of those. Determined planning was what used to get you on the housing

ladder and it still works. We need more practical maths in schools, for business and industry, but before this for earning,
Housing Needs Survey 2004 found net need for 291 affordable homes p.a. Coincidentally such protected rural settlements
as Paglesham have not had a school for years; Foulness primary school was considered for closure years ago. Why?
207 Ms G Yeadell
Because no new homes, so no children, presumably.
208 I Gyres No major issue, why not rent houses society is changing, adapt rather than build houses that are still unaffordable
210 Mrs M A King I don't think so!
Affordable housing is a must. There is clearly insufficient also local authority should take this directly on board for lower
211 Mr B W Williams income families and those retired.
212 Master J Richards
Affordable housing is not a current major issue but could become one if the building of houses is not recognised. New
homes must go near Rochford, Hockley and Hullbridge as these are the only places with transport and are uncrowded.
Gypsy sites would be more suited to areas in the east of the district as towns are more rural and there is more space.
