Orsett Quarry

The approximately 28.6 acre site is located within the Green Belt and borders Southfields to the north, an active quarry to the west and a golf course to the south. Despite it’s location within the Green Belt it is of lower environmental and amenity value than other greenfield land given its former quarry use.

Generator identified the potential opportunity for the site to provide a number of dwellings including affordable housing, a new local centre and public open space. Development on the site would aid the council in reaching their current housing target.
