The latest phase of a £250 million regeneration scheme which will provide 206 new homes has been given the go-ahead.
Basildon Council gave proposals submitted by Swan Housing for the Craylands estate the green light at a development control and traffic management committee meeting last week.
The proposals include the retention of 29 existing houses and demolition of all of the remaining properties within the site, 206 new homes, new shops and a community hall.
The development will be a mix of private and social housing consisting of flats and houses with some Victorian architectural influences.
Frank Tomlin, Basildon Council’s member for housing said:
This phase of the regeneration will again deliver much better quality housing to central Basildon and improve the landscape of the area dramatically.
The design of the new homes is more traditional and will be pleasing in appearance adding character and creating a development with its own sense of identity.
Mark Thompson, Swan Housing Association deputy chief executive, said:
The Craylands regeneration is a long term project and it is important that the plans that we have in place remain relevant and adaptable in order to deliver the sustainable regeneration of the area.
