Campaigners have distributed 1,000 leaflets to residents urging them to contact the Salvation Army regarding potential development on Hadleigh farmland. The Save Hadleigh Farmland group claims that the Salvation Army's indecision following the site's exclusion from the Castle Point local plan has generated community suspicion.
Since the land was introduced for development consideration last year, local residents have consistently opposed such proposals. The leaflets, targeting homes in Leigh and Hadleigh, call for a public commitment from the charity to rule out any development, following unaddressed letters to its leadership.
The local plan aims to address housing targets, but residents fear that undershooting these targets may lead to development outside the council's plans. The Salvation Army stated it has not made a final decision as the local plan is still in progress and emphasized its commitment to collaborating with the community.
