Jaywick
Across Tendring, the government wants to build 1,069 homes a year. At that rate, sustained for thirty years, that is 32,070 homes - +42% on existing stock in Tendring.
Spread across the 29 settlements in our Tendring list, that is an average of 36.9 homes a year per settlement - about 1,106 over thirty years.
When homes arrive here, they almost always arrive as a bolt-on: a field at a time, each application too small to trigger the reservoir, the substation, the surgery or the station. That is the pattern we are against — not homes themselves.
