THREE “dilapidated” businesses in a road in Leigh have been put on the market for £800,000, despite objections to plans for their redevelopment.
The plans were given the green light by Southend Council’s development control committee, following proposal submitted by J Thomas of Harrison Developments to build new three and five-bedroom homes.
The low-lying buildings in Woodside Parade will now be demolished to make way for the four new homes, which will be three-bed properties, with one parking space each and an electric vehicle charging point.
Staunchly opposed to the plans is Independent Belfairs Ward councillor Stephen Aylen. He reportedly said: “I am still totally against it. I have spoken out against it before.
“The plan overlooks other residents in the area, it doesn’t fit in with the street scene. I have concerns with parking. Residents weren’t happy with the plans either. So, it is still a real concern, but not a lot can be done now it is approved.
“It is disappointing to see and is a bit of a shock to now see that development on the market.”
The Rightmove description, by Bear Estate Agents, states: “This development site offers the perfect canvas for your dream project – a demolition and rebuild opportunity that promises to deliver four stunning new homes.

“Enquire now to seize this rare opportunity and turn your property dreams into reality in Woodside, Leigh.”
