The Basildon Standard reported this week that plans have been drawn up to demolish a garden centre and replace it with a new housing estate made up of 16 homes.

Kent Property Investments Ltd have submitted an application to Rochford District Council to demolish Fairway Garden Centre, in Hullbridge Road, Rayleigh, Essex.

If approved, the demolition would make way for the homes - which will range from two-bedroom to four-bedroom detached houses.
