Debatable allocation
Article Abstract:
The local council in Essex, England, will have difficulty in devising a Structural Plan which will meet the demand for all types of new housing and finding space in the most popular areas. They are also obliged to find space for some social housing. Brownfield development, in Essex, is limited due to the few available sites. They are also constrained by green belt land particularly in popular areas. Demand for new housing is mostly near the M11 where employment is plentiful at Stansted Airport. It is anticipated some 70,000 new houses will be required, in Essex, by the year 2011.

Article Abstract:
It is important to select sites close to shops and, if possible, a doctors' surgery, according to retirement home developer McCarthy & Stone Chmn John McCarthy. He rejects the view that the trend among many leading retailers to move out of town has placed his business under pressure. Indeed, he feels that this trend has ensured that more sites have become available for his company to develop. He believes that there is potential for the company to develop housing for the elderly within much larger city-centre regeneration schemes.
