Abbey Developments supports the Council's preferred strategy SGO3 and the identified sites for suburban expansion on the east side of Rainham.
Preferred sites RSE9 and RSE10 are adjacent to land in Meresborough Road Rainham that Abbey Developments is promoting for residential development but which are all currently subject to policies in the existing Local Plan resisting development, BNE25 and BNE34. The proposed outward expansion of Rainham implies that the policy restrictions on this area, including Abbey Developments' site, which was subject of a recent planning appeal, should also be suitable for future residential development. we are seeking clarification of this.
