It is disingenuous to state that input from consultation and engagement with residents has informed the plan. The previous regulation 18 consultation did not include SA10 Lower Rainham as a preferred option (according to the council) so the community did not need to respond at that time, rather they breathed a sigh of relief, but in any case the plan to build in this area had previoulsly been rejected by the council and UK secretary of state following extremely strong opposition from the local community.
