Summary
This application asks for permission in principle to build nine flats on a piece of land to the rear of properties on Bankfoot and Hogg Lane in Grays. Permission in principle is an early planning stage — it does not approve the details, but it would confirm the site could be used for housing. The site sits close to a protected chalk pit nature site a few minutes' walk away, and several important local buildings including Grays Police Station and Grays Library are also nearby. About 22 homes and businesses have a direct line of sight to the site. The A126 road, which carries over 12,000 vehicles a day, runs close by. If approved, nine new homes would be added to an urban area that already has several planning applications in progress nearby.

This is a permission in principle application — reference 26/00189/PIP. You can comment on whether this land should be used for housing at all. The council will decide whether the site is suitable in principle; detailed design is considered at a later stage. Search for this reference on Thurrock Council's planning portal to submit your view.
