Hockley/Hawkwell : 400
Rayleigh : 1800
Smaller Settlements 500
====
TOTAL : 4600
(By “1st Tier ” this means towns and large villages – Rayleigh, Rochford, Ashingdon, Hockley and Hawkwell. By “2nd Tier” this means Hullbridge, Canewdon and Great Wakering. “Completions 2001-2006″ means houses already built.)

The District Council Planning Policy and Transportation Committee meeting on 12 September presented the Council’s Core Strategy on planning for the next 15 years or more. Nothing was decided and there is public consultation.
But it gave a strong bias as to where the council will allow 3,000 extra homes to be built up to the year 2021.
