Today, Taylor Wimpey (TW) held a public consultation event regarding their proposed development at Mount Bovers Lane, Hawkwell. This site, located within Rochford District Council’s designated ‘Green Lung’ area, is Green Belt land currently protected under the Council’s Core Strategy Plan. As such, the proposal has generated significant local interest and concern.
The consultation was structured around several display boards that outlined Taylor Wimpey’s vision for the development. However, it was noted by many attendees that the TW representatives present were difficult to identify, as they wore no badges or lanyards, making it unclear who members of the public should approach for information or to ask questions.
Another point of concern arose when consultation feedback forms ran out by approximately 3:45 PM, despite the meeting being scheduled to run until 7:00 PM. Fortunately, additional forms were sourced and made available again by 4:45 PM.
