Application for 551 homes in Aveley withdrawn (From Thurrock Gazette)

bloody eck a miracle prevails at long last homes plan withdrawn
yes its alright to have thees e hairy fairy pie in the sky plans with houses shops health centre drinking holes but what about a/e hospitals nearest from kennington darenth park hosp at dartford on queens at romford and a mighty heafty fare if you cannot be collected on discharge .
another point when the plans were made no mention of schools what was it meant to be a no children zone estate /
turn the land into a golf course or nature reserve

well its a start, at least the green belt is safe for a while, but the plans have probably been withdrawn so they can put in a revised plan for 700 homes. Trust no one
its not only no hospitals, school places etc. its road infrastructure, how would we cope, 551 homes is probably 1100-maybe 200 extra cars on a country lane. plus the 350 homes already allowed on green belt at the by pass, we all know how the A13 grid locks on a regular basis, where do the planners expect the traffic to go, its all about build build build to cope with the every growing and moving population. there is NO room at the INN

I am pleased that this application has been withdrawn,however as Eddie of Aveley has said, whats next? I have heard many rumours about this site, and the fact remains that the owner wants too do something with it I can't see it being another golf course.it would be too near to the Belhus course. I think it's a case of wait and see.

I've lived round here since it was all just fields, we don't want anymore houses round here.
Why do we need more houses?
What about the people who keep their horses there who's ever mentioned them.
Anyway why not spend the money on our pubs? We used to have four lovely pubs now one's a chinese restaurant.
I blame the Dustmen it's all their fault bring back the stocks I say (i've not put my tomatoes in my brown bin i've saved them for the Dustmen in the stocks)

Thinks it great news the application has been rejected but for how long???? What myself and my fellow residents would like is a word from the people we pay all that council tax too, firstly im intrested in when these plans where submitted and how long it was mulled over before it went to press.. secondly im intrested in finding out whether or not these are social housing or are they for the private sector..im proud to have lived on a council estate all my life, but one thing aveley doesnt need is too become another outer city-inner city hell hole another olympic reject place where we house people that dont deserve to be housed in the first place....The majority of Aveley`s Residents are hardworking people who pay there council tax and surley are entiled to some sort of literature to be sent through the post( quick enough to knock on our doors and post letter s through when you want our votes). The volume of people that trod the high street in a protest march (see youtube) against more green belt land lost to houses that are now required due a labour goverment over populating our country and then hosting the olympics in a place where there are 4 people to EVERY council property. Allthough the above article is good news i cant help but feel its a smokescreen for a very bleak future for Aveley, its ANOTHER massive disappointment
